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 Saladin and became the Sultan of the Ayyubid Sultanate in 1200. He was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to unify the Muslim states in the region. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and religion of the time, with the phrase "There is no god but Allah" written in Arabic on one side and the name of the Sultan and the date of issue on the other. Despite its small size and humble material, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Ayyubid Sultanate during the 13th century.
