Note:Ā  Husam al-Din Yuluq Arslan’s reign marked a period of relative stability and prosperity for the Artuqid domains. As a patron of arts and sciences, Husam al-Din fostered a cultural environment that attracted scholars, poets, and artisans to cities like Mardin. The Mardin Mint, situated in the heart of Artuqid territory, was instrumental in producing coins that facilitated trade and commerce within the dynasty’s realm and beyond. Mardin’s strategic location at the crossroads of major trade routes contributed to its economic importance, making it a thriving center of urban life and cultural exchange. NB the depiction of mourning figures on the coin reflects the Artuqid dynasty’s artistic and cultural sensibilities, as well as its engagement with broader themes of loss, remembrance, and the passage of time. It invites viewers to contemplate the human experience and the complexities of emotion in the context of medieval Islamic society.
