Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Zahir Jaqmaq, who was the last Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate, which was a powerful state that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 13th to 16th centuries. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was used in everyday transactions.
