Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Mustafa Nizar, who was the eighth Fatimid caliph and ruled from 1095 to 1101. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Fatimid Caliphate's emphasis on Islamic art and culture, and its use of Arabic script and imagery. The coin's gold content and weight also indicate its value as a medium of exchange and store of value during this time period.
