Anmerkungen
Featuring decorative motifs taken from Sasanian, Hellenistic and Christian traditions, Artuqid coins are a witness of tolerance towards other religions. The use of large, pictorial coins that employed motifs from the past may have resulted from a desire to communicate with and reassure the ethnically and religiously diverse local population. An interesting feature of this coinage is the caution mal‘ūn man yaghayyiruhū warning the fakers that ‘cursed be he who changes (this dirham)’.
