<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8107515, member: 97383&quot;]BenSi, no question about it, your example is far superior to the dust cover photo on the Sayles book <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The figure on your coin looks more female, her face looks more sensitive, &amp; her jacket is done with greater care <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I like Zangid coinage because they use figurative designs on their coinage which is unusual, most Islamic coinage uses strictly calligraphy. I&#039;ve got only one Zangid coin from the Mosul Mint that I scored from AMCC 2, photo courtesy of Tom Callaway.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1410423[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Zangids of Mosul, Saif ad-din Ghazi II, dated AH 567 (1171/2).
