Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of al-Nāṣir Muhammad I, who was the seventh Mamluk sultan 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 medieval period. 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. Despite its small weight of 1.8 grams, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Mamluk Sultanate during the 14th century.
