Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Qirat - 'Ali b. Yusuf ND (1106-1143) from Almoravid dynasty made of Silver weighing 1 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Berber influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a rendition of the Almoravid emblem, which includes a stylized image of a lion, while the reverse side bears a quote from the Quran in elegant Arabic script. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Almoravid dynasty, which ruled over a vast territory that spanned parts of modern-day Morocco, Algeria, and Spain.
