Interesting fact
The Fractional Dirham - Mu'izz al-Dawla Mundir II ND (1029-1038) from Taifa of Zaragoza is a rare coin that features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Mu'izz al-Dawla Mundir ibn Yahya" (meaning "Mundir, the Powerful Lord, son of Yahya"), while the reverse side features a cross, which is a distinctly Christian symbol. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Taifa of Zaragoza during the 11th century.
