Interesting fact
The 1 Dirham coin from the Taifa of Valencia (Al-Andalus and Ceuta) made of Copper weighing 4.72 g has an interesting fact that it was issued during the reign of Al-Ma'mun in 1067, which was a time of great cultural and scientific achievements in the Islamic world. Al-Ma'mun was known for his patronage of scholars and his efforts to translate Greek philosophical works into Arabic, which helped to spread knowledge and ideas across the region. This coin is a small but tangible representation of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
