TAIFAS ALMORAVIDES: Anonymous, 1146-1155, AV dinar (3.78g), NM, AH544, A-405, VyE-2000 (same date), with al-amr kulluhu lillah / wahduhu instead of a ruler's name, below the kalima on obverse, with Qur'an verse 3:85 as on the Almoravid prototypes (the specimen cited by Vives y Escudero has a different Qur'an verse), lightly creased, EF, RRR. This somewhat coarsely engraved type was probably issued somewhere in southeastern Spain by local contenders opposed to the rising Kings of Murcia and the Almohades arriving from North Africa. The overall calligraphic style resembles some of the dinars minted in the early to mid-540s in and around the Spanish city of Jaén.

Estimate: 800-1,000 USD
