Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Ya'qub Yusuf II, who was the caliph of the Almohad Caliphate from 1213 to 1224. The Almohad Caliphate was a powerful Islamic empire that spanned across North Africa and parts of Spain during the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences of the time, with the obverse featuring the Arabic inscription "There is no god but Allah alone" and the reverse featuring the caliph's name and title. The use of gold in the coin's production also signifies the wealth and prosperity of the Almohad Caliphate during this period.
