Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of 'Abd Allah al-Murtada, who was the founder of the Aglabid dynasty, which ruled over parts of North Africa and Al-Andalus (present-day Spain) during the 11th century. The Aglabid dynasty was known for its cultural and economic achievements, and this coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the time.
