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 value of this coin compared to other coins issued during the same period.
