Interesting fact
The Artuqid dynasty, which issued the Fractional Dirham - Balak-Ghazi ND (1123-1124) coin, was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled in Aleppo, Syria, and parts of Anatolia during the 12th century. Despite their Turkmen origins, the Artuqids adopted Arabic as their official language and Islam as their religion, reflecting the cultural diversity of the region at the time.
