Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abu al-Abbas Ahmad al-Yanashti, who was the Governor of Ceuta (Al-Andalus and Ceuta) from 1232 to 1237. This coin is a rare example of a silver dirham minted during his reign, and its weight of 1.53 grams suggests that it was a standard circulation coin used in everyday transactions.
