Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - 'Abd Allah I ND (812-817) from Emirate of Ifriqiya made of Gold weighing 3.94 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic inscriptions and a depiction of the caliph 'Abd Allah I, while the reverse side features a Christian cross, indicating the coin's origins in a region that was once part of the Byzantine Empire.
