Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Da'ud bin al-Hasan ND (1460) from Kilwa Sultanate (East Africa) made of Copper weighing 1.47 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and African influences in its design. The coin's inscriptions are written in both Arabic and Swahili, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Kilwa Sultanate, which was a major trading power in the region during the 15th century.
