Interesting fact
The Wattasid dynasty, which issued this coin, was known for its unique blend of Islamic and Berber cultures. The Wattasids were a Berber dynasty that ruled over much of northern Morocco and parts of Algeria, as well as Sicily, during the 15th and 16th centuries. Their coins, including the 1 Dirham coin , often featured inscriptions in both Arabic and Berber languages, reflecting the cultural diversity of the region.
