Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dirham coin from the Marinid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and African influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Marinid ruler, Abu Muhammad 'Abd al-Haqq II, while the reverse side bears a striking image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in African cultures. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the rich history of exchange and cultural exchange that occurred between the Islamic world and sub-Saharan Africa during the medieval period.
