Comment
This and the subsequent issues have the name of Caliph al-Musta'simInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a square shape within a circle. This design was used during the Ayyubid Sultanate, which was a period of significant cultural and artistic achievement in the region. The use of this design element suggests that the coin was intended to be a symbol of the sultanate's power and influence.
