Whelan Type II, 137-8Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nur al-Din Muhammad, who was a prominent leader of the Artuqid dynasty, which was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled parts of Syria, Mesopotamia, and Anatolia during the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and it is considered a valuable artifact for historians and collectors studying the history of the Islamic world.
