Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued by Ibrahim I during his reign from 800-812 CE, was part of a larger currency reform that he implemented in the Emirate of Ifriqiya. This reform aimed to replace the existing currency, which was based on the Byzantine solidus, with a new currency that was based on the Islamic dirham. The new dirham coin was made of silver and had a standardized weight and purity, which helped to establish a more stable and reliable currency system in the region. This currency reform was an important step in the development of the Islamic world's economic and monetary systems, and it had a lasting impact on the region's trade and commerce.
