Comment
Hazard 521Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar coin from the Almohad Caliphate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and imagery, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Christian king, likely King Alfonso X of Castile, who was a contemporary of Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali and had ties to the Almohad Caliphate. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse and multicultural nature of the Almohad Empire, which spanned across parts of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula during the 13th century.
