Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mu'azzam Mahmud, who was the son of the famous Saladin, the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. Despite being issued by the Zengid dynasty, which was a rival dynasty to the Ayyubids, this coin still bears the name of al-Mu'azzam Mahmud, indicating the influence and reach of his legacy.
