Almoravids. AH 493. Yusuf ibn Tashfin. Qurtuba (Córdoba). Dinar. Unprecedented. Neither Vives nor Hazard record a Cordoban dinar of this year, in both catalogs there is a hiatus between AH 492 and 496. But an even more extraordinary detail of this piece is its date: "fi Shawal sanata..." (in [the month of] Shawal of the year...). Curiously, the very rare known cases that cite the mint month are also found in Cordoba and within this three-year period with no "normal" examples in the catalogs. Extremely rare. 4,11 g. EBC.*This item cannot be exported (it has been declared BIC).
