Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ayyubid Sultanate of Egypt coin is that it was made during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the region. The Ayyubid dynasty was founded by Saladin, who led the Muslim forces against the Crusaders and eventually recaptured Jerusalem in 1187. However, after Saladin's death, the empire was divided among his descendants, leading to a series of internal conflicts and power struggles. Despite this, the Ayyubid Sultanate managed to maintain its control over Egypt and parts of Syria for several centuries, and coins like the Fals - al-Kamil Muhammad I 622-623 (1225-1226) remain an important part of its numismatic history.
