Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Kamil Muhammad I, who was the last Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria. He ruled from 1218 to 1238 and was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to consolidate his power in the region. The coin's minting in 1226-1227, during his reign, reflects the economic and political stability of the Ayyubid Sultanate at that time.
