Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Mansur, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, He has no partner, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, He has sent him with guidance and the religion of truth." This inscription reflects the Islamic beliefs of the Umayyad Caliphate and highlights the importance of religion in the coin's design.
