Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a rebel coinage minted by Ahmmad ibn Muhammad al-Badji during his revolt against the Almohad Caliphate in the early 13th century. This coin, made of silver and weighing 1.53g, was issued in the City of Seville, which was then under the control of the Almohad Taifas. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the rebellious nature of its minting, with the obverse featuring a unique combination of Islamic and Christian motifs. Despite its historical significance, the coin's value today is relatively low, with some examples selling for around $100-$200.
