Lot of 2 Islamic AR Coins. Includes one Anonymous AR Millares [a Christian imitation of Almohad AR dirham (Album 498; Medina 201bis)] and one Almohad Anonymous AR Dirham in the name of al-Mahdì (Album 498; Hazard 1101).
Lot sold as seen - no returns.
The imitations are distinguishable from the dirham as they have broader flans and degenerative calligraphy, often intentionally miswriting the name "Muhammad". While rejected as currency by the Islamic world, they were accepted in European trade until forbidden by the Pope.
