ALMOHAD CALIPHS
Abû-Zakaryâ. 1/2 Dinar (1/4 Dobla) uncertain date around the 8th century. In square creed in three lines, in marginal segments ... - al-mahdî - khalîfat - allâh // In square: Abû Zakar / yâ ibn al-umarâ / al-muwahhidîn, in marginal segments: amîr - al-mu'minîn - abû (?) - ... . Hazard -; Album -. 1.14 g. GOLD. Rare. Very fine
A tentative attribution for a coin which is of 14th century style. To characterize the descent from Almohad family in the form of "Ibn al-umarâ' al-muwahhidîn" is unusual on Almohad and Hafsid coins as "Ibn al-umarâ' ar-râshidîn" is the normal formula. Therefore this might point to some anti Marînid rebel, who insists on his relation to the Almohad sectarians. Hazard only states "no coins are reported for the several Muwahhid pretenders who arose after the Marinid victory in 668."
