Interesting fact

The Dirham coin was issued during the reign of Yahya al-Mansur, who was the second ruler of the Taifa of Badajoz, a short-lived kingdom that existed in the 11th century in the Iberian Peninsula. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," indicating the Islamic faith of the ruler and the population of the region at the time.
