Interesting fact

The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Musa bin Isa bin Idris II, who was the second Idrisid dynasty ruler and ruled from 885 to 894. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during that time period, and it's made of silver, which was a valuable material at the time. The fact that it weighs 1.50 grams also speaks to the precision and care that went into its production. Overall, this coin offers a unique glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of the Idrisid dynasty, and it's a valuable piece of history for anyone interested in numismatics or the history of the region.
