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 1310 to 1341. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that controlled much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic culture and religion of the time, and its copper material was a common choice for coinage in the region due to its availability and durability.
