Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued during the reign of Abu Marwan ‘Abd al-Malik II in Morocco in 1629, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse (front side) features a stylized representation of the Islamic declaration of faith, known as the Shahada, which reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This inscription is written in a beautiful Arabic calligraphy, which was a hallmark of Islamic art and architecture during that period. The inclusion of the Shahada on the coin serves as a symbol of the Islamic faith and the coin's connection to the Islamic world.
