Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Nasir Muhammad I, who was the Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt and Syria from 1310 to 1341. This coin was minted in 1319, which was a significant year for the Sultanate as it marked the beginning of a period of political stability and economic growth. The coin's design features the name of the Sultan and the date of minting, and it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. Despite its small weight of 2.23 grams, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
