The Archaeological and Cultural Research Center of the University of Mosul includes a group of Atabek copper coins (not studied), some of which were discovered in the archaeological excavations carried out by the University of Mosul in the area of ​​Bashtabiya, or the research center was connected through purchase or as a gift. This research contains a careful analytical study of stubborn copper coins with images affected by foreign influences. I paved the way for my research with an introduction to the Atabak state and its various branches and a brief discussion of photography in Islam and the various opinions that were said about it. The chronological development of the course of the Atabekian copper railway (money) was the basis for my research method, as it included the study of its writing texts, places of striking, the names of its princes and the years of their rule, as well as the weight of all these coins and the measurement of their diameters. She explained all this in a timeline that includes her numbers at the Archaeological Research Center, who buried her. I have studied the depictions of these Tabuk coins, a comprehensive analytical study that clarified the various foreign influences that occurred on their images indicating their Greek, Sasanian, or ancient Iraqi or Hittite origins). With a research topic, or were metal objects such as silver medals, ceramic vessels, or memorials. My study of picturing included the bodies of human beings pictured and their situations in terms of their manner of sitting or their orientations, in terms of clothes, robes, headdresses, headbands, wreaths of fire, and the feeling of being socked off or sideburns. I also studied the mythical animal (the two-headed eagle), its true origins, and its images came on some of the masterpieces of other Islamic countries other than Atabak. Absolutely the benefit, the research was supplemented with accurate and clear analytical panels, which differed in this research, and this was followed by Mansour's studied models of recurrent currency.
