Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King al-Mu'tamid, who was the last king of the Taifa of Seville before it was conquered by the Almoravids. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it features a unique design, including an inscription in Kufic script and a stylized depiction of a lion, which sets it apart from other coins of the time.
