Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu' Abd Allah Muhammad I, who was the first Hafsid caliph to mint gold coins. This coin, in particular, is made of 0.50g of gold and features the caliph's name and title on one side, and the Hafsid emblem on the other. The Hafsid dynasty was a powerful and influential empire that controlled much of North Africa and Sicily during the 13th century, and their coins are highly sought after by collectors today.
