Caliphate. AH 316. Abd al-Rahman III. Al Andalus. Dirhem. (V. 347) (Fro. 1). After an almost 40-year pause, the mint of Córdoba was re-established on the 13th of Ramadan in the year 316, during the reign of Abd al-Rahman III. The coins of this first year are extremely rare, probably no more than three examples are known. The correct minting techniques must have been partially lost during the aforementioned four-decade closure, as demonstrated by the uneven crafting of the first four years. 2,22 g. (BC).

Governors. AH 113. Post-reform type. Al Andalus. Dirhem. (V. 27) (Fro. 1). Magnificent example. Very rare, we have only had 3 examples. 2,96 g. MBC+.
Description
Almoravids. Ali ibn Yusuf and el amir Sir. Habba or 1/16 quirat. (FBM. Cd9, same example). This small coin/weight with the name of Ali and Sir can obviously be dated between AH 522 and 533. These few weights are almost all the material metrological evidence that we have of the habbas of the Almoravid period. Vives' numismatic quirat, the real coin, was arbitrarily defined by him with a theoretical weight of 1 g. and it is his definition that we use numismatically. However, in classical Islamic metrology, the quirat is equivalent to 3 habbas (closer to Vives' 1/8 quirat). Undoubtedly the best known example. Extremely rare. 0,05 g. MBC.
