Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ND (1184-1199) from Almohad Caliphate (Islamic states) made of Gold weighing 4.57 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" on one side, and an image of a standing figure on the other. This coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce during the Almohad Caliphate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that spanned across North Africa and parts of Spain during the 12th and 13th centuries.
