A son décès en 1381, son frère lui succédera.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Manṣūr ʿAlī II, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. Despite being the last Sultan, al-Manṣūr ʿAlī II's reign was marked by political instability and economic difficulties, which may have contributed to the relatively low mintage of coins during his reign, making this coin a rare and valuable piece for collectors.
