Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dinar coin from the Hafsid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and imagery, while the reverse side features a Christian cross, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending of religions that occurred during the Hafsid dynasty's rule over North Africa and Sicily.
