Interesting fact
The Almoravid dynasty, which ruled over parts of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula during the 11th and 12th centuries, was known for its advanced minting technology and artistic designs on its coins. The Dinar coin , issued during the reign of Ishaq b. 'Ali in 541 (1147), is a prime example of this. It was made of gold and weighed 4.14 grams, indicating the high level of precision and craftsmanship that the Almoravid mint workers had achieved. The coin's design likely featured intricate calligraphy and geometric patterns, which were hallmarks of Islamic art during that period.
