Interesting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was made during a time when the Khawlanid dynasty was transitioning from a tribal society to a more centralized state. This coin, in particular, was issued during the reign of Yahyá b. Abí Hášid, who was known for his efforts to unify the region and establish a more formalized system of governance. The fact that it's made of gold also speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
