Comment
Exist in smaller versions (22-23mm)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful and influential empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious values of the time, and it is considered a valuable artifact for historians and collectors today.
