Comment
- citing the caliph of Al-Nasir -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Zahir Ghazi, who was the son of Saladin and became the emir of Aleppo in 1186. He was known for his military campaigns against the Crusaders and his efforts to unify the Ayyubid territories. The coin's design, which features an ornamented circle and Arabic inscriptions, reflects the artistic and cultural influences of the Ayyubid Sultanate during this time period.
