Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time, and it weighed 2.33 grams. This suggests that the Zurayid dynasty, which ruled the Arabian Peninsula during the 12th century, had access to a significant amount of gold and was able to produce coins with a high level of precision. The fact that the coin was used for standard circulation also speaks to the advanced economic systems and trade networks that existed in the region during this time period.
