Interesting fact

The Almoravid Taifas, which issued this coin, was a Berber dynasty that ruled over a vast area of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa during the 11th and 12th centuries. The Almoravids were known for their military prowess, their tolerance of different cultures and religions, and their support of the arts and architecture. This coin, which features the name of the ruler Ahmad ibn Qasi 'Abd Allah, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Almoravid Taifas.
