Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Sultanate of Mogadishu, which was a powerful and influential empire in the Horn of Africa during the 15th century. The coin's design and materials, such as the use of bronze, also reflect the cultural and economic influences of the region at that time.
