Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Nasir Muhammad I, who was the seventh Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate and ruled from 1293 to 1341. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Mamluk Empire, which was a powerful state that controlled much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and religion of the time, and its copper composition was a common material used for coinage in the region.
