Note: The Fatimid Caliphate, centered in North Africa with its capital in Cairo, was known for its diverse and cosmopolitan culture, as well as its contributions to art, science, and literature. Under al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah’s rule, the Fatimids extended their influence across North Africa and into the Levant, establishing a powerful and influential empire. The use of fractional denominations like the AR 1/4 Dirham in the Fatimid Dynasty under al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah served practical purposes, promoting economic activity, financial inclusion, and stability within the caliphate’s territories moreover very few survived.
