Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Salih Ismail, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Salih Ismail, the Sultan, the Just, the Victorious" on one side, and the other side features an image of a standing figure holding a sword and a shield. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has survived from the Mamluk era and is highly sought after by collectors and historians.
