Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" on one side, and the name of the ruler, Nur al-Din Mahmud, and the date of issue on the other side. This inscription reflects the Islamic beliefs of the Zengid dynasty, which was a powerful and influential empire in the Middle East during the 12th century.
