Interesting fact

The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during a time of great political turmoil in the region. Hasan ibn Mudjahid, also known as Hasan al-Mu'tamin, was a rebel leader who challenged the rule of the Taifa of Dénia, which was a short-lived Islamic state that existed in the 11th century in the Iberian Peninsula. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint workers and the artistic traditions of the region.
