Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dinar coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jayyash ibn al-Mu'ayyad, who was the last ruler of the Najahid dynasty. The Najahid dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that ruled over the Arabian Peninsula in the 11th century. Despite its short duration, the dynasty was known for its cultural and scientific achievements, and the coinage issued during this period reflects the artistic and technological advancements of the time. The fact that this coin was made of gold and weighed 2.35 grams suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
