Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued by Yusuf al-Mudafar in 1053 during the Taifa of Lérida (also known as the Taifa of Zaragoza), features an interesting inscription on its reverse side. The inscription reads "Al-Mu'tamid bin al-Mu'tadid" which means "The Abbasid Caliph Al-Mu'tamid, son of Al-Mu'tadid" in Arabic. This inscription indicates that the coin was issued during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mu'tamid, who ruled from 1052 to 1055. It's worth noting that the Taifa of Lérida was a small Islamic kingdom that existed in the 11th century in the north-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, in what is now modern-day Spain. The kingdom was known for its rich culture, art, and architecture, and its coins are considered valuable historical artifacts.
