Interesting fact
The Muhammad ibn Sulayman (Tilimsan) 1 Dirham coin from the Sulaymanid dynasty was made of silver, but it also contains a unique feature - it has a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was believed to represent the "eye of God" and was a symbol of the coin's purity and legitimacy. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
