Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Ashraf Qansuh II Al-Ghuri, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. Despite being the last Sultan, Al-Ashraf Qansuh II Al-Ghuri's reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of new coinage systems, such as this Fals coin made of copper. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mamluk Sultanate, and it is a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
