Interesting fact

The Almohad Taifas were a series of independent kingdoms that emerged in the 13th century after the collapse of the Almohad Caliphate, which had been a powerful empire that spanned across much of North Africa and parts of Spain. The Almohad Taifas were known for their rich culture, art, and architecture, and this coin, which features Muhammad al-Mutawakkil, is a reflection of that cultural heritage.
