Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-'Adil Khalaf, who was a powerful Ayyubid emir (prince) who ruled over the Emirate of Hisn Kayfa (also known as Ayyubid Sultanate) in the 15th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which is a common feature of Islamic coins from this period. Additionally, the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins in the region at the time.
