Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Qirsh coin from the Mahdist State (Sudan) made of Billon is that it features an image of Abdullah, the Mahdi, on one side, and an Arabic inscription on the other side that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This coin was minted during Abdullah's reign from 1310-1311 (1893-1894) and was used as a form of currency in the Mahdist State.
