Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ala'a al-Din Kujuk (al-Qahira) 742 (1341) Dinar coin from the Mamluk Sultanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Sultan's name in Arabic script, while the reverse side bears a Mongolian-style symbol of a stylized tiger, which was a symbol of power and strength in Mongolian culture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a Muslim state that was established in Egypt after the Mongolian invasion of the region in the 13th century.
