One interesting fact about the Dinar coin is that it was used as a symbol of power and wealth during the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," which reflects the Islamic beliefs of the ruling caliph, Hisham II. The coin's gold content and intricate design also signify the wealth and prosperity of the caliphate during this period.
