<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2535006, member: 74799&quot;]Recently picked up another Islamic coin that happens to be an imitation of a Byzantine coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Salduquds: Izz al-Din Salduq (1129-1168 CE) AE Fals, NM, ND (Album-1890) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: Two standing figures with the one on the right holding a patriarchal cross on three steps in his right hand. This may be the Byzantine emperor John II Comnenus on the left and St. George on the right, but it could equally well be the Emperor Manuel I Comnenus and St. Theodore on the right. </p><p>Rev: Arabic legend on four lines - السلطان المعظم مسعود بن محمد عز الدين صادق بن علي (<i>The Mighty Sultan Mas‘ud ibn Muhammad ‘Izz al-Din Salduq ibn ‘Ali</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Citing the Western Seljuq overlord Mas&#039;ud, who ruled 1134-1152</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Album-1890.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
