Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Al-Nasir Muhammad I, who was the seventh Mamluk Sultan of Egypt and ruled from 1299 to 1309. During his reign, the Mamluk Sultanate was known for its military campaigns and cultural achievements, and this coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the time.
