Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of al-Muzaffar Hajji I, who was the first Mamluk sultan to issue coins in his own name, rather than in the name of the Abbasid caliph. This indicates a shift in power dynamics, where the Mamluk sultans were beginning to assert their independence and authority.
