Note: The Artuqids were a Turkmen dynasty that rose to prominence following the decline of the Seljuk Empire, governing parts of Anatolia and al-Jazira. Nasir al-Din Artuq Arslan, one of the notable rulers of the Artuqid dynasty, played a significant role in shaping the region’s political and cultural landscape. Coins like these, minted in Mardin, offer valuable insights into the Artuqid dynasty’s administration, economy, and influence in post-Seljuk Anatolia and al-Jazira. They serve as tangible artifacts of Artuqid governance and are highly prized by collectors for their historical significance.
