Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Abu Hafs 'Umar I ND (1284-1295) from Hafsid dynasty (North Africa and Sicily) made of Gold weighing 4.74 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and imagery, while the reverse side features a Christian cross, reflecting the Hafsid dynasty's position as a Muslim ruling family in a predominantly Christian region. This blending of cultural influences is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the region and the coexistence of different religions and traditions during that time period.
