Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - temp. Abu Ya'qub Yusuf ND (1286-1306) from Marinid dynasty made of Gold weighing 4.63 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and imagery, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Christian king, likely King Abu Ya'qub Yusuf himself, in a style reminiscent of European coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the Marinid dynasty, which ruled over a vast territory that spanned from Morocco to parts of Spain.
