Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa from the 13th to the 16th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler, al-Mu'ayyad Ahmad III, and the date of issue, ND (1461). It's made of silver and weighs 1.46 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
