Hello!

 

The Uqaylid dynasty is one of those confusing ones with many sub-branches. These should be the relevant branches related to the coins. Lines 16 to 26:

Isnt city of Aleppo an issue ? No other dynasties minted here?

Honestly, I thought the City of Aleppo was an issuer already, but I triple-checked it and could not find it yet. We do have two different Emirates based in Aleppo (Ayyubid and Zengid), but those areas would have been larger than just the city; this issuer was the city under occupation, so it should be just the city.

 

I also checked my pending requests (and there are hundreds of those), but I also could not find requests made for a City of Aleppo either, so I think this is indeed a new issuer.

 

Due to how popular Aleppo was, there might be another period when just the City of Aleppo issued coins, but if that is the case, I haven't gotten there yet. With that being said, there are most definitely other cities in this situation (Balkh, Shiraz, Marw, and Erzican are a few, just off the top of my head), and my plan is to deal with all those multi-dynastic cities in one thread at the very end. It is certainly possibly Aleppo will be included in that thread, but… I am not sure about that yet.

 

If you would to wait on adding Aleppo just in case, that is fine--I will mark it down on the list I made to deal with it at the end.  :)
