Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The fleur-de-lis symbol, which is featured prominently on the coin, is a traditional European motif that was adopted by the Mamluk Sultanate during their interactions with European traders and travelers. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred during the Mamluk period, and adds to the coin's historical significance.
