Interesting fact
The 1 Dirham coin from the Emirate of Tilimsan (Idrisid dynasty) made of Silver weighing 2.29g is interesting because it is one of the earliest coins to feature Arabic inscriptions. The coin's design includes the phrase "Al-'Adl al-'Azim" (The Great Justice) and "Al-Mu'tasim bi'llah" (The Fearless in God), which reflects the Islamic influence on the Idrisid dynasty. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the history and culture of the region.
