Comment
- Citing the Caliph Al-Musta'sim -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Nasir Yusuf, who was the last Ayyubid emir of Aleppo and ruled from 1236 to 1260. During his reign, the Ayyubid Sultanate was facing significant challenges, including the Mongol invasion and the rise of the Mamluk Sultanate. Despite these challenges, al-Nasir Yusuf was able to maintain control over Aleppo and issue coins like this one, which feature his name and title in Arabic script.
