Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Mu'tamid, who was known for his love of poetry and literature. In fact, he was a skilled poet himself and often held poetry competitions at his court. This coin, which features the inscription "al-Mufawwid ila Allah" (meaning "the one who abides with God"), may have been issued as a way to promote the caliph's love of literature and the arts.
