Interesting fact
The 1 Quirat coin from the Almoravid Taifas region, minted during the reign of Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn al-Hadjam (1145-1150), features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Mu'min" (meaning "the Believer") in Kufic script, while the reverse side features a cross, indicating the influence of Christianity in the region during that time. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance that existed in the Almoravid Empire.
