Note: The Zangid Dynasty, which ruled Anatolia and al-Jazira during the post-Seljuk period, represents a significant chapter in Islamic history. Under the reign of Qutb al-Din Muhammad, the dynasty reached its zenith, asserting its authority over a vast territory and playing a crucial role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of the region. The city of Sinjar, where this coin was minted, served as a key center of commerce and administration within the Zangid domains. Sinjar played a vital role in the economic infrastructure of the dynasty, producing coins that facilitated trade and commerce throughout the realm. The coin’s imagery, featuring the bust of Qutb al-Din Muhammad and the Zangid tamgha, reflects the ruler’s authority and the dynasty’s cultural identity.
