Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar - Abu'l-'Ula Idris II ND (1266-1269) 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 Idris II himself, in a style reminiscent of European coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse nature of the Almohad Caliphate, which spanned across parts of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula during the 13th century.
