Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful and influential empire that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. The coin's design features intricate Arabic calligraphy and imagery, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the Mamluk period. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin highlights the importance of this resource in the region's economy at the time.
