Husam al-Din Yuluq Arslan (r.1184–1204) was an Artuqid dynasty ruler of the regions of Mardin and Mayyafariqin.
Some of his coinage displays an armoured Turk ruler holding a severed head in his left hand. The obverse contains the name "Nur al-Din Atabeg", a likely allusion to his contemporary Nur al-Din Arslan Shah, although it remains unclear why he would show the effigy of his rival from Mossul. The reverse acknowledges the religious affiliation to the Abbasid caliph.BMC Oriental 3 / The coins of the Turkuman houses of Seljook, Urtuk, Zengee, etc in the British Museum, classes X-XIV, 409 p.153
Yuluq Arslan was a vassal of Saladin. When Saladin died in 1193, he issued a coin showing four women mourning the death of Saladin.
He was succeeded by his son Artuq Arslan.
