Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-'Abbâs ibn al-Ashraf Ismâ'îl, who was the fourth ruler of the Rasulid dynasty, which was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Yemen and Saudi Arabia from the 13th to the 16th century. The coin features the name of the ruler and the city of Al-Mahjam, where it was minted, on one side, and a decorative design on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, coins like this one are highly sought after by collectors and historians for their historical and cultural significance.
