Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Mansur, who was the ruler of the Taifa of Valencia (Al-Andalus and Ceuta) from 1056 to 1060. This coin is a fractional dinar, which means it was worth less than a full dinar, and it was made of gold or electrum, which was a common material for coins during that time period. The fact that it weighs 1.64 grams suggests that it was a relatively small coin, which was likely used for everyday transactions.
