One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Salih Ismail, who was a powerful and influential leader of the Zengid dynasty, known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its copper material and weight of 4.26g were typical of coins issued during this period.
