Taifas. Fas, after the Cordoba revolution. AH (45)7. Mu'ansar ibn al-Mu'izz. Coinage in Fez after the Cordoba revolution. Fragment of dirhem. In MANQUSO 13, David Francés suggests attributing this piece to Mu'ansar ibn al-Mu'izz ibn Ziri ibn Atiyya, in an attempt to rule Fez upon the death of his father in AH 417, in which case the recognition of Yahya as Caliph would not be anachronistic, and the date should read (41)7; but the chronicles indicate that the legitimate heir was his cousin Hammama, and it seems unlikely that this Mu'ansar son of al-Mu'izz could ever mint coins. In any case, it is an extremely interesting piece. 1,90 g. (MBC+).
