Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/08/2020 12:38 pm I agree, Zangids of Aleppo (Halab), Nur al-Din Mahmud. Although this issue employs a Byzantine prototype, it is not strictly-speaking "Arab-Byzantine", a term which is applied to the Umayyad pre-reform coinage struck some 500 years earlier. An interesting type. It's not often that one finds a depiction of Jesus Christ on an Islamic coin. Edited by Kushanshah 03/08/2020 8:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, that can't be common! He's even labelled... with inverted IC XC. Wonder how that happened. Was someone copying from a mirror? Report this Post to the Staff
