Coins of the epigraphic style dominated Moslem numismatics for 400 years. There is therefore a special interest in the pictorial copper coins of the small kingdoms which formed Upper Mesopotamia during the 11th and 12th centuries. This phenomenon developed most fully in the case of the Artuqids, who imitated Byzantine coins with a fair degree of accuracy but sometimes opted for earlier prototypes. This example copies the coin designs of the Byzantine emperor Nicephorus I (742-743).
