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+.
