Interesting fact
The Mamluk Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa from the 13th to the 16th century. The Sultanate was known for its military prowess and its rich cultural heritage, including the development of Arabic literature, art, and architecture. The 1 Dirham coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Sunqur (also known as Sunqur al-Ashqar) in the late 13th century, and it features an intricate design that includes Arabic script and geometric patterns.
