Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of al-Nāṣir Muḥammad IV, who was the last Mamluk sultan to rule over Egypt before the Ottoman conquest in 1517. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
