Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Aziz Muhammad, who was the last Ayyubid emir of Aleppo and ruled from 1216 to 1218. Despite his short reign, he was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to strengthen the Ayyubid Empire. The coin itself is a reflection of the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time period, as the Ayyubid Empire was known for its trade networks and cultural exchange with other regions, including the Byzantine Empire and the Mongol Empire.
