Interesting fact
The Idrisid dynasty, which issued the ½ Dirham coin , was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over the western Maghreb region (present-day Morocco) from 788 to 985 AD. The dynasty was founded by Idris I, who was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and a prominent religious leader. The Idrisids were known for their support of education, arts, and architecture, and they established several cities and universities throughout their territory. One of their most notable achievements was the establishment of the University of Al-Karaouine in Fez, which is still in operation today and is considered one of the oldest universities in the world.
