Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Matapan ND (1371-1395) from Dejanović Domain (Serbia (medieval)) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of the medieval Balkans, where Christian and Islamic traditions coexisted and influenced each other.
