Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Kamil Abu-Bakr, who was the last Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was used widely in trade and commerce during its time.
