Comment
- Citing the Caliph Al-Musta'sim -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique six-foil design on one side, which is a distinctive feature of Ayyubid coins from Aleppo. This design includes six circular elements arranged in a hexagonal pattern, with a central circle containing the name of the ruler, al-Nasir Yusuf. This design was used during the reign of al-Nasir Yusuf II, who ruled the Ayyubid Emirate of Aleppo from 1236 to 1260. The use of this design was a departure from the more common circular or square designs used on coins of the time, and it adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
