Interesting fact

The 1 Dirham coin from the Taifa of Zaragoza, minted during the reign of Suleiman Tadj al-Daula in 440 (1048), is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, while the reverse side features a cross and the name of Jesus Christ, reflecting the cultural exchange and religious coexistence that existed in the region during that time.
