Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Nasir Yusuf, who was the last Ayyubid ruler of Aleppo and Damascus. He was known for his military campaigns against the Mongols and his efforts to maintain the independence of his kingdom from the neighboring powers. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
