Interesting fact

The ½ Dinar coin from Morocco, minted in 1205 (1791) during the reign of Muhammed al-Yazid, is made of gold and weighs 1.76 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," which reflects the Islamic faith of the ruler and the people of Morocco at the time.
