Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - al Zahir Barquq ND (1390-1399) coin from the Mamluk Sultanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Sultan's name, while the reverse side bears the image of a Mongolian-style tamga, or tribal symbol, indicating the coin's minting during the period of Mongolian rule over the Mamluk Sultanate. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the region during this time period.
