Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Muzaffar Ghazi, who was the son of Al-Ashraf Musa, the founder of the Ayyubid Sultanate. Al-Muzaffar Ghazi ruled the Emirate of Diyar Bakr, which was a region in present-day Turkey, from 1220 to 1247. The coin was made of copper and weighed 3.5 grams, which was a common weight for coins of its time. Despite its small size, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Ayyubid Sultanate during the 13th century.
