Interesting fact
The Dirham coin is interesting because it was used during the reign of Badis al-Muzafar, who was the last king of the Zirid dynasty in Granada. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs 8.08 grams, which is relatively heavy compared to other coins of similar size and material. This suggests that the coin may have been used for large transactions or as a store of value, highlighting the importance of the Dirham as a unit of currency in the region.
