Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Al-Ashraf Abu'l Nasr Aynal, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. Despite being the last Sultan, Al-Ashraf Abu'l Nasr Aynal's reign was marked by political instability and military weakness, which ultimately led to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate and its annexation by the Ottoman Empire. This coin, therefore, serves as a tangible reminder of a significant period in Islamic history.
