Interesting fact
The Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba, which issued this coin, was known for its religious tolerance, with Muslims, Christians, and Jews living together in relative harmony. This tolerance was reflected in the coinage of the time, which often featured imagery and inscriptions from multiple religious traditions. For example, some coins from this period feature the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) alongside Christian crosses or Jewish symbols. This blending of religious iconography reflects the diverse and inclusive nature of the Umayyad Caliphate.
