Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Adil Sayf al-Din Abu Bakr I, who was the Sultan of Egypt from 1193 to 1195. He was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to consolidate the Ayyubid Empire. The coin's design, featuring a hexalobe shape and the inscription "Lord of Harran," reflects the influence of the Seljuk Empire, which had conquered Harran, a city in modern-day Turkey, in the 11th century. The use of copper as the material for the coin was also a common practice during this time period.
