Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Regency of Tripoli was a short-lived state that was established in 1640, and it was marked by political instability and conflict with neighboring powers. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during this period, including the Sultani - Ibrahim 1049-1053, has been well-preserved and is highly sought after by collectors today.
