Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fractional Dirham coin from the Mamluk Sultanate is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal in the region at the time. The use of silver in coins was a symbol of wealth and power, and the fact that this coin was made of silver suggests that it was a significant denomination in the Mamluk Sultanate's currency system. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 1.73g suggests that it was a relatively small coin, which may have been used for everyday transactions.
