Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Iqbal al-dawla 'Ali, who was a powerful ruler of the Mujahid dynasty in Al-Andalus and Ceuta during the 11th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Iqbal al-dawla 'Ali, Salve of Denia" and "Mujahid dynasty, 1041-1075". This indicates that the coin was minted during a time of significant political and military power for the Mujahid dynasty, which was known for its military campaigns and cultural achievements. The fact that the coin was made of silver also suggests that it was a valuable and widely used form of currency during this time period.
