Answer:

Mansa Musa expanded the influence of the Mali Empire by leveraging its vast wealth to control trans-Saharan trade routes and establish major cultural and educational centers. The painting highlights this success by depicting him holding a large gold coin and wearing a golden crown, which directly represent the abundant gold resources of Mali.
