Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler, al-Mu'izz Aybak, and the date of issue, which corresponds to 1250-1257 CE. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce within the Sultanate and beyond.
