Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of al-Salih Muhammad III, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa from the 13th to the 16th century. The coin's design features intricate Arabic calligraphy and imagery, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the Mamluk period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs only 0.79 grams suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during its time.
