<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 2216768, member: 75482&quot;]The hexagram design is similar to coins issued by the Ayyubids at Aleppo but this piece belongs to a vassal dynasty, the Artuqids of Mardin. The ruler is al-Mansur Artuq Arslan, 1201-1239. Your coin was struck at Dunaysir in AH 631 (AD 1234). The obverse (top) cites the Ayyubid overlord al-Kamil Muhammad and styles the ruler as &quot;al-Mansur Artuq&quot; with mint and date in the margin. The reverse (lower) cites the &#039;Abbasid caliph al-Mustansir. The Muslim kalima or profession of faith is in the margin segments. It is Album 1831.1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
