Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Ashrafi coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa from the 13th to the 16th century. The coin was made of gold and weighed 3.38 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency during its time.
