Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Abu’l-’Abbas Ahmad II (Baldat al-Kitaoua) 1004-1012 (1596-1604) from Morocco made of Gold weighing 4.5 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 crowned lion holding a sword and shield on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Abu’l-’Abbas Ahmad II, who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1596 to 1604, and it was used as a standard circulation coin during that time.
