Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - 'Ali b. Yusuf (Mursiya) ND (1106-1143) from Almoravid dynasty made of Gold weighing 4.01 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, Ali is the emir of the faithful" on one side, and an image of a horseman on the other. This coin was used during the reign of Ali ibn Yusuf, who was the second ruler of the Almoravid dynasty, a Berber Muslim empire that spanned parts of North Africa and Iberia during the 11th and 12th centuries. The coin's design reflects the Islamic faith and the importance of the ruler's role in the Muslim community.
