| Additional information |
Alī I — known by his laqab Nūr ad-dīn — ruled for a matter of months in 1257, installed as a child sultan by the Bahri amirs following the assassination of his father, al-Muʿizz Aybak. He was deposed before the year was out, replaced by al-Manṣūr Qalāwūn's predecessor in the factional carousel that defined early Mamluk succession. Coins struck in his name are accordingly scarce; the Cairo mint had little time to produce volume before the political ground shifted again.
