One interesting fact about the Kharuba - Abdel Kader 1254-1258 (1838-1842) coin from Emirate of Abdelkader (Algeria) is that it was minted during the reign of Abd al-Qadir, who was a prominent Algerian leader who fought against French colonization and established the Emirate of Abdelkader in 1832. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Imam al-Amir Abd al-Qadir" (meaning "the Imam and Prince Abd al-Qadir") and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
