Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 the last Sultan, al-Ashraf Sha'ban II's reign was marked by political instability and economic difficulties, which may have contributed to the relatively low mintage of coins during his reign. As a result, coins from this period are now considered rare and highly sought after by collectors.
