Interesting fact
The Dirham -al-Ẓāhir Khushqadam ND (1461-1467) from Mamluk Sultanate was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a unique form of minting called "striking," where the coin was struck between two dies to create a more uniform and detailed design. This technique was revolutionary for its time and allowed for the creation of more intricate and beautiful designs on coins.
