Note: These coins provide a fascinating glimpse into a period characterized by cultural diversity and religious tolerance. The Artuqids were renowned for their patronage of various religious and cultural traditions, fostering an environment where Islamic and Christian influences coexisted harmoniously. The presence of Arabic inscriptions alongside depictions of crosses on the coins illustrates this unique blend of Islamic and Christian symbolism. As such, these coins serve not only as numismatic treasures but also as artifacts reflecting the spirit of interfaith relations and peaceful coexistence during the Artuqid era.
