Interesting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Hasan al-Mustansir ibn Yahya, who was the last ruler of the Taifa of Málaga before it was annexed by the neighboring Taifa of Granada. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during that brief period of independence before the region was absorbed into a larger kingdom.
