| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field bears a walking lion passant facing left, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Mamluk heraldic art, serving as the personal emblem (rank) of Sultan Baybars I. The field is surrounded by a circular inner line border enclosed within an outer ring of pellets. Multi-line Arabic inscription in the field names the sultan with his full titulature; no circular marginal legend is present. The die is struck on an irregular flan with uneven margins typical of hammered Mamluk silver coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field contains a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers, citing the reigning Abbasid caliph al-Mustansir Billah with his full honorific titulature, acknowledging Abbasid suzerainty in accordance with Mamluk political and religious practice. The field is enclosed by a circular inner line border surrounded by an outer ring of pellets. No circular marginal legend is present. The flan is irregular and the strike is slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Baybars I consolidated Mamluk power with unusual speed after personally striking the fatal blow to Mongol expansion at Ain Jalut in 1260 — the same year he seized the sultanate by murdering his predecessor Qutuz. His monetary program was deliberate political theater: standardizing the dirham coinage helped project legitimacy for a ruler whose claim to power rested entirely on force. The Bal II#44 type belongs to a reign defined by near-constant military campaigning, including the systematic dismantling of remaining Crusader fortifications along the Levantine coast.
