Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Salih Salih, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, and it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Al-Salih Salih, the just, the rightly-guided, the victorious, the glorious, the commander of the faithful." This inscription highlights the importance of the Sultan's role as a religious and political leader in the Mamluk Empire.
