Comment
citing Abu Ziyan Muhammad by his laqab 'al-Mutawakkil' and Quran 48:1,Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Ziyan Muhammad III, who was the Sultan of the Marinid dynasty, a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over present-day Morocco and parts of Spain, Algeria, and Tunisia. The coin was minted in the city of Fez, which was the capital of the Marinid dynasty, and it features the name of the Sultan and the date of minting in Arabic script. The use of gold in the coin's composition reflects the wealth and power of the Marinid dynasty during this period.
