Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ali b. Yusuf, who was the second ruler of the Almoravid dynasty, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The coin's design includes a stylized representation of the Almoravid emblem, which consists of a crescent moon and a star, surrounded by intricate geometric patterns. This design was a hallmark of the Almoravid dynasty and was used on many of their coins. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
