Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar coin from the Hafsid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and Islamic motifs, while the reverse side features a Christian cross and the name of the ruler, Abu Yahya Zakariya', in Arabic. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the Hafsid dynasty, which ruled over a region that spanned across North Africa and Sicily.
