Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ali b. Yussuf, who was the second caliph of the Almoravid dynasty and ruled from 1106 to 1128. The Almoravid dynasty was a Berber dynasty that ruled over a vast area of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula during the 11th and 12th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its small weight of 0.07 grams suggests that it was likely used for everyday transactions.
