Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mansur Muhammad II, who was the last Ayyubid sultan to rule over the Emirate of Hamah. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was used widely in the region. Its weight of 2.09 grams also makes it a unique piece among other coins of its time.
