Interesting fact

The Marinid dynasty, which ruled Morocco from the 13th to the 15th century, was known for its extensive trade networks and economic activities. The Square Dirham coin, which was minted during this period, was used not only as a means of exchange but also as a symbol of the dynasty's power and influence. The coin's design, which features a square shape with rounded corners and a central hole, was unique to the Marinid dynasty and reflected the region's cultural and artistic traditions.
