Additional information

Amid — modern Diyarbakır in southeastern Turkey — was an Artuqid stronghold by the twelfth century, and anonymous copper fulus from this mint are among the most difficult pieces in the series to attribute with confidence. The absence of a ruler's name was not an oversight; anonymous civic issues circulated on local trust rather than dynastic authority, a practical solution in a region where control changed hands repeatedly between Artuqid branches, Zengids, and eventually the Ayyubids.
