Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan al-Zahir Barquq, who was the first Mamluk sultan to use the title "al-Qahira" (meaning "the Victorious") in his coins, indicating his ambition to conquer and expand the Mamluk Sultanate's territories.
