Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Ahmed I al-Moqtadir ND (1046-1081) from Taifa of Zaragoza made of Silver weighing 5.25 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Ahmed I al-Moqtadir, while the reverse side features a cross and the name of the city, Zaragoza, in Latin script. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Taifa of Zaragoza, which was a medieval Islamic kingdom that ruled over a region in present-day Spain.
