Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu'l-'Abbas Ahmad III, who was the last Hafsid ruler to have any real power. He ruled from 1543 to 1569 and was known for his attempts to centralize the government and strengthen the economy. Despite his efforts, the Hafsid dynasty was eventually overthrown in 1574 by the Ottoman Empire. This coin, made of silver and weighing 1.20g, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Hafsid dynasty and its influence on the region.
