Interesting fact

The Kharijite dynasty, also known as the Idrisid dynasty, was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over the western Maghreb region (present-day Morocco) from 788 to 985. The dynasty was founded by Idris I, who was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and a prominent religious leader. The Kharijite dynasty was known for its religious tolerance and its support of the arts and sciences. During their rule, they minted several coins, including the 1 Dirham - Zufar (Tudgha) 178-179 (794-795) coin made of silver, which weighs 2.82 grams.
