Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - al Zahir Barquq (Hamah) ND (1390-1399) coin from the Mamluk Sultanate is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coins was gradually phased out in favor of other metals like silver and gold as the Mamluk Sultanate's economy grew and became more complex.
