Comment
Photos: Harran mint (#488) 634 AHInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Kamil Muhammad I, who was the Sultan of Egypt from 1218 to 1238. He was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to unify the Muslim states of the region. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and religion of the time, with Arabic script and symbols that were commonly used in Islamic coinage.
