Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great cultural and scientific achievement in Al-Andalus, a region in the Iberian Peninsula that was under Muslim rule from the 8th to the 15th century. The Banu Djahwar dynasty, which ruled the Taifa of Córdoba, was known for its patronage of the arts and sciences, and this coin may have been used to finance some of the many scientific and cultural projects that took place during this time, such as the translation of Greek and Roman texts into Arabic.
