Note: Al-Malik al-Salih Isma’il’s reign was a time of both internal consolidation and external conflict, as the Zangids sought to maintain their power in the face of various challenges. Coins like these, minted in Halab, reflect the city’s importance as a cultural and economic center in Syria during the Zangid period. This coin provides valuable insights into the monetary system and political landscape of post-Seljuk Anatolia and al-Jazira. It serves as a tangible reminder of the Zangid era’s influence in the region and is highly valued by collectors for its historical significance.
