Interesting fact
The Almohad Taifas were a group of independent states 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 cultural and artistic heritage, and this coin, which features Muhammad al-Wathiq, is an example of the beautiful craftsmanship and design that emerged during this period.
