Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of 'Ali b. Yusuf, who was the second caliph of the Almoravid dynasty and ruled from 1106 to 1142. The Almoravid dynasty was a Berber dynasty that ruled over a vast area of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula during the 11th and 12th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
