Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abd Allah ibn Iyad, who was the last ruler of the Almoravid dynasty in Murcia, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Mu'minin bi-Ahkam Allah" which translates to "The Believers in the Judgment of God". This inscription reflects the Islamic beliefs of the ruler and the population of the region at the time.
