Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fractional Dirham coin from the Sulaymanid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sulayman ibn al-Mu'tamid" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a Christian cross, indicating the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that existed during the dynasty's rule in North Africa and Sicily.
