Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quirat coin from the Uncertain Almoravid taifa is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Ibn Malik" in Arabic, indicating the name of the ruler who issued the coin, while the reverse side features a cross, which was a common motif in Christian art and symbolism. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural exchange and tolerance that existed during the Almoravid dynasty, which ruled over a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Spain, and Portugal.
