Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Muzzaffar Qutuz, who was a powerful Mamluk sultan in Egypt during the 13th century. He was known for his military campaigns against the Mongols and his efforts to consolidate Mamluk power in the region. This coin, which bears his name and title, was likely used in everyday transactions and commerce during his reign, providing a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the time.
