Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Sulayman (al-Andalus) ND (1009-1010) coin 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 standing Caliph on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik, who was the seventh Umayyad caliph and ruled from 1009 to 1010. The coin's design reflects the Islamic faith and the political power of the Umayyad Caliphate at the time.
