Description
Dating to the period of the Crusades, a time when the cultural lines between east and west were often blurred, this intriguing coin evokes the classical world in its iconography.

The Artuqids produced a fantastic array of coins that typically featured an obverse with Christian imagery and a reverse with Islamic Kufic script. The imagery borrowed on both Byzantine and Roman Empire motifs in grand style. - (SJ.0958)
