Comment
Sometimes overstruck on Sha'ban II, Halab (Balog #468).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Al-Ashraf Sha'ban II, 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 made of copper, this coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during its time.
