Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Adil Kitbugha, who was a powerful Mamluk sultan in Egypt during the 13th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-'Adil Kitbugha al-Qahira" which means "Justice is the foundation of Kitbugha the Victorious." This inscription reflects the importance of justice in Islamic tradition and highlights the sultan's commitment to upholding fairness and equality during his rule.
