Descripción
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.

Almoravids. Ali ibn Yusuf and el amir Tashfin. Bani Tawda. Quirat. (FBM Ch1, same example). First published by Tawfiq Ibrahim in NVMISMA 237 (1996) page 298, no. 18. Bani Tawda, north of Miknasa (Meknès), is also the mint that appears on a dinar from AH 512 (Hazard 168), although in that case there is a final "alif" instead of the "teh marbuta". Extremely rare, we only know of two other examples, one of them at the "Museo de la Casa of la Moneda" (Mint Museum). 0,79 g. EBC.
