Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Diya' al-Din Ayyub, who was a prominent leader of the Saltukid dynasty, which was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled over a large part of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 11th to 14th centuries. The coin is made of copper and weighs 2.57 grams, which was a common weight for coins of its time and place. Despite its small size, this coin holds significant historical value as it represents the economic and cultural achievements of the Saltukid dynasty during its time.
