Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar - Isma'il II ND (1358-1359) coin from the Emirate of Granada is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Isma'il II, while the reverse side features a Christian cross and the name of the kingdom, Al-Andalus and Ceuta. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Emirate of Granada, which was a Muslim state that ruled over a predominantly Christian population in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
