Comment
Fatimid design, derived from issues of the Fatimid Imam al-'Aziz, 976-997Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Badis b. Habbus, who was the Zirid ruler of Granada from 1038 to 1073. The Zirids were a Berber dynasty that ruled over the Taifa of Granada, which was a medieval Islamic kingdom located in the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's gold content and fractional denomination also make it a unique and valuable piece in the history of Islamic coinage.
