Lot 207 TAIFAS ALMORAVIDES: Anonymous, 1146-1155, AV dinar (3.80g), NM, AH550, A-405, Kassis—, with al-amr kulluhu lillah / la quwwa illa billah below the kalima on obverse, unpublished date (type as VyE-1997 ff), choice EF, RR. This somewhat coarsely engraved type was probably issued somewhere in southeastern Spain by local contenders opposed to the rising Kings of Murcia and the Almohades arriving from North Africa. The overall calligraphic style resembles some of the dinars minted in the early to mid 540s in and around the Spanish city of Jaén. This is one of the finest examples of this type we have seen. A somewhat cruder example or the known date AH544 hammered down in our auction #14, lot 227, at $2500. |
