Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Al-Ashraf Nasir al-Din, 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 from the 13th to the 16th century. Despite being the last Sultan, Al-Ashraf Nasir al-Din's reign was marked by political instability and economic difficulties, which may have contributed to the relatively low value of this coin compared to other coins minted during his reign.
