Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali ibn Sa'd, who was the last Nasrid ruler of the Emirate of Granada, which was the last Muslim state in the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's design reflects the cultural and artistic achievements of the Nasrid dynasty, which was known for its beautiful architecture, calligraphy, and craftsmanship. The coin's copper material and relatively small weight also highlight the economic and trade networks of the region during this time period.
