Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Salah-ad-Din Hajji II, 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 the last sultan, Salah-ad-Din Hajji II's reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of new coinage systems, such as this Fals coin made of copper. This coin is a testament to the sultan's efforts to stabilize the economy and promote trade during a time of great turmoil and change in the region.
