Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Qirat coin from the Almoravid dynasty is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and religious exchange between Islamic and Christian societies in North Africa and Europe. The coin's design, which features Arabic inscriptions and Islamic motifs, reflects the influence of Islamic culture in the region during this period.
