One interesting fact about the 1 Dirham coin from the Banu Ifran dynasty is that it features an inscription in the Kufic script, which was a style of Islamic calligraphy that originated in the 7th century and was widely used throughout the Islamic world until the 14th century. The inscription on the coin includes the name of the ruler, Yaddu ibn Ya'lâ, as well as the date of issue, which is written in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of the use of Kufic script on a coin from this region and time period, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
