Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Muhammad 'Abd al-Mu'min, who was the second caliph of the Almohad Caliphate, a powerful Islamic empire that spanned across North Africa and parts of Spain during the 12th century. The Almohad Caliphate was known for its military conquests, architectural achievements, and cultural advancements, and this coin is a testament to the economic and financial systems that supported the empire's growth and prosperity.
