Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 3
Governors. Transition coins. Early times of the conquest. Transitional issues in Latin. Indiction dinar. Obv.: INDC XII in the center, legend partially off-center around, according to the description of the Tonegawa collection on the web. Date and mint unclear. Trent Jonson studied this same example in his “Numismatic Early Islamic” (page 181 and ff) and suggested that the indiction was XIII, with a last digit obliterated, and that the margin legend corresponded to that of the African series: INN¡NIM]RC](()¡FERTINAF. However, the star on the obverse clearly indicates its Spanish minting; it is, therefore, a unique and extraordinarily interesting example. Extremely rare. 4,20 g. MBC.

Taifas. Hammundids. AH 430. Idris I Ibn 'Ali. Madinat Sabta (Ceuta). Dinar. (V. 824) (Prieto 89) ("Ceuta musulmana" 137, same example) (Ariza IdI6.1 page 235, same example). Obv.: ç?wcv! #4~ / K!D?. Rev.: @?cv! ®? / }J7. Punched on reverse. Very rare. 3,97 g. MBC/MBC+.

Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 371
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.
Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 307

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+.

(EBC).*This item cannot be exported (it has been declared BIC).
Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 210
