Interesting fact
The 1 Quirat coin from Ceuta (Al-Andalus and Ceuta) was minted during the reign of Abu Fadl 'Iyad ND (1146-1148), and it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Andalus" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a cross, which was a common motif in Christian coinage of the time. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance that existed in Ceuta during this period.
