Interesting fact
The Mangir - Ibrahim 1049 (1640) coin from the Regency of Tripoli (Libya) made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of a crescent moon, which is a common motif in Islamic art and symbolism. However, the reverse side of the coin features a Christian cross, which is a rare example of Christian-Islamic syncretism in numismatics. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex cultural and historical context of the Regency of Tripoli during the 17th century.
