thanks

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.

Yeah, that can't be common!

He's even labelled... with inverted IC XC. Wonder how that happened. Was someone copying from a mirror?
