Almoravid Taifas. Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn al-Hadjam. Sharish (Jerez). Quirat. (V. 1989) (FBM. J6, same example) (Actas II Jarique 1988, page 71, no. 34). The mint of Sharish (Jerez), as already suggested by Antonio Delgado, is probably Jerez de los Caballeros located south of Badajoz and west of Zafra. Extremely rare, very few known examples. 0,89 g. EBC-.

Almoravid Taifas. Abu Fadl 'Iyad. Sabta (Ceuta). Quirat. (FBM. S1) (Jarique IV page 209, no. 47, same example). Iyad was reconfirmed by the Almohads as Qadi of Sabta in AH 541. As a strict Sunni Maliki, he could not at heart fail to see the Almohads as heterodox and participated in an unsuccessful revolt against them. This quirat was probably minted during the short period of feigned allegiance to the Almohads. Mint name on both sides. It's the only known example. 0,85 g. MBC.

Almoravid Taifas. Alfonso VIII (AH 553-611). One dinar or morabetino coin weight. (V. 2042) (Ex HSA 1700). Although Vives considers this piece to be a "fals without marginal legends", the word t@b ("exact", "correct") at the end of the reverse side clearly indicates its coin weight condition. 3,48 g. MBC+.
Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 407

Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 411
Almohads. Muhammad I. Madinat Fas (Fez). 1/2 dinar. (Hazard 477). Vives assigns this type to Muhamad ibn Yakub, an-Nasir, and Hazard attributes it to Abd al-Mumin with his heir. In reality, Abd Allah Muhamad succeeded his father and reigned for 45 days in AH 558, and the reference to Abd al-Mumin was maintained throughout the entire dynasty, so we attribute this unique type to the brief reign of Muhamad I, note that all the known mints are African. Although it is true that the title he holds on these pieces is that of "eminent prince", and not that of "Amir of the believers", it would be the only case in the dynasty in which the heir is mentioned on a coin. Minor edge crack, but very beautiful. Very rare. 2,31 g. EBC+.

Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 416
Almohads. AH 628. Abu-l-'Ula Idris I al-Ma'mun. Marrakush (Marrakech). Dirhem. (MANQUSO 2, page 67) (Hohertz A562, same example). This piece is the material proof of Idris I's attempt to move away from the influence of the Mahdi and return to Sunni orthodoxy. It is the first known coin to invoke the Quran instead of the Mahdi, as later occurred with the beni Zeyan and the beni Marini. Soldering traces on obverse, which do not prevent reading the mint and the date. It's the only known example. 3,01 g. BC+.
Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 417
