Comment
Najm al-Din Ghazi I with Ayyubid overlord al-Salih
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Najm al-din Ghazi I, who was the founder of the Artuqid dynasty and ruled from 1239 to 1260. The Artuqid dynasty was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled over a region that is now part of modern-day Turkey and Syria. The coin is made of copper and weighs 2.62 grams, which was a common weight for coins of that time period.
