Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ayyubid Sultanate of Egypt's 1 Dinar coin made of Gold weighing 4.27g is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mu'azzam Turanshah, who was the last Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and ruled from 1249 to 1250. Despite his short reign, he was able to issue a number of coins, including this gold dinar, which was used as a means of payment and a symbol of the sultanate's wealth and power.
