Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dinar coin from the Almohad Caliphate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Almohad caliph, Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad, while the reverse side bears a striking image of a Christian cross, reflecting the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that characterized the Almohad Empire. This blending of religious and cultural motifs is a distinctive feature of Almohad coinage and sets it apart from other Islamic coins of the time.
