Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - al-Nasir Faraj (Halab) ND (1399-1412) coin from the Mamluk Sultanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Sultan's name in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a Mongolian-style emblem of a stylized animal, which was a common motif in Mongolian coinage. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the period of Mongolian rule over the Mamluk Sultanate.
