Interesting fact

The Ayyubid dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 1171 to 1260, was known for its beautiful architecture, literature, and art, and this coin reflects that cultural richness. The coin's design features intricate calligraphy and ornamentation, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the mint's engravers and artisans.
