Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tashfin b. 'Ali, who was the last ruler of the Almoravid dynasty. Despite his efforts to maintain power, the dynasty ultimately collapsed during his reign, and this coin serves as a tangible reminder of that significant historical event.
