Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mujahid, who was a powerful taifa king in Al-Andalus and Ceuta, and it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" on one side, and the name of the mint and the year of issue on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Islamic coinage from the medieval period, and it provides insight into the economic and cultural exchange that took place between different regions in the Islamic world during that time.
