| Aversbeschreibung | Frontal bust of the Artuqid ruler Fakhr al-Din Qara Arslan, depicted in a Byzantine-influenced style, wearing a diadem or close-fitting cap with hair rendered in low relief at the sides. The figure holds a globus cruciger in the raised left hand and a scepter or lance over the right shoulder, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of Artuqid figural coinage. The face is presented full-face with schematic features including arched brows and almond-shaped eyes. The field is plain, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Fakhr al-Din Qara Arslan ruled Hisn Kayfa from roughly 1144 to 1167, navigating the fractious politics of the Jazira during the Zengid ascendancy — a period when small Artuqid lords maintained autonomy largely through careful neutrality and strategic marriage alliances. The Artuqids were unusual among their contemporaries in producing figural copper coinage at a time when much of the Islamic world was moving away from representational imagery, a practice that almost certainly reflects the persistence of Byzantine and Syriac Christian visual culture in the upper Tigris region.
The globe-and-scepter type belongs to a broader Artuqid tradition of borrowing Hellenistic and late Roman imperial iconographic conventions, filtered through local workshop habits rather than any direct numismatic copying.
