Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" on one side, and the name of the ruler, Muhammad Baha' al-Dawla, and the date of issue on the other side. This inscription reflects the Islamic beliefs of the Almohad dynasty, which ruled over much of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa during the 12th and 13th centuries.
