Summary/Abstract: In the following article, two copper coins of the Artuqid ruler Fakhr al-Dīn Qarā Arslān are presented and discussed. These two coins are widely known, but are described and interpreted differently. It will be demonstrated how, through superficial observation and careless description of coins, errors can be found even in the standard literature. Such errors, as will be demonstrated here, lead to interpretations that are largely erroneous.
