Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Ashraf Musa I, who was the son of Saladin and became the Sultan of Egypt and Syria in 1212. He was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to consolidate the Ayyubid Empire. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and religion of the time, with Arabic script and symbols that signify the coin's denomination and minting location.
