A rare bronze coin from the Artuqids of Mardin, minted during the reign of Husam al-Din Yuluq Arslan (1184–1201). This historical piece reflects the Islamic numismatic traditions of the late 12th century and the Artuqid dynasty's significant role in Mesopotamian history. The coin displays authentic patina and wear consistent with its age, making it a genuine artifact for serious collectors of medieval Islamic coinage and Middle Eastern history. An excellent addition to any collection focused on Crusades-era numismatics or the broader Islamic world.
Obverse: Roman-style head (derived from coins of Nero) facing left, facing crowned Byzantine-style bust. Reverse: Inscription in 4 lines "al-Malik al-Nasir/ Salah al-Din/ Muhiyy dawla/ Amir al-mu'minin", to right "Yusuf", to left "bin Ayyub". Spengler/Sayles 34.
One of the intriguing "Turkoman figural bronzes" issued by various Turkic dynasties (Artuqids, Zengids, and some others) that often featured images derived from older coins, including Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and even Sasanian-derived imagery. Nice!
