Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Ma'mun al-Qasim, who was the Hammudid ruler of Malaga and Caliph of Córdoba from 1018 to 1023. He was known for his military campaigns against the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula and for his efforts to promote education and the arts. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a widely used and valued form of currency in the region.
