Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ali b. Yusuf, who was the emir of the Almoravid dynasty from 1128 to 1139. The Almoravid dynasty was a Berber dynasty that ruled over a large part of the Islamic world, including present-day Morocco, Algeria, and parts of Spain and Portugal. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
