Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Nâsir al-Hasan, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" or "the great sultan" in English. This highlights the significance of the sultanate and the coin's importance as a symbol of power and authority during that time.
