Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abd al-Wahid, who was the last Zayyanid ruler of the kingdom of Tlemcen (present-day Algeria) and Sicily. Despite his efforts to defend his kingdom against the expanding Ottoman Empire, Abd al-Wahid ultimately succumbed to their invasion and was captured in 1424. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Zayyanid dynasty.
