Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique floral ornament design, which was a common motif in Islamic art and architecture during the 15th to 16th centuries. The use of floral patterns on coins was not only aesthetically pleasing but also symbolized the prosperity and abundance of the region. The fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive material, suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation among the general population.
