Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Mutamid Muhammad ibn Abbad, who was the last king of the Abbadid dynasty, which ruled over the Taifa of Seville in Al-Andalus (present-day Spain) during the 11th century. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.87 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin.
