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 Mamluk sultan of Egypt and ruled from 1310 to 1341. During his reign, the Mamluk Sultanate was known for its military campaigns and territorial expansion, and this coin may have been used to finance some of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs only 1.4 grams suggests that it was a widely circulating coin that was used for everyday transactions, providing a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the time.
