Comment
religious legendInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Zahir Baybars, who was a powerful Mamluk Sultan in Egypt and Syria during the 13th century. He was known for his military campaigns against the Mongols and his efforts to consolidate Mamluk power in the region. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and traditions of the time, and it is considered a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
