Good Very Fine.
From a private English collection.
This type of Christian imitation, usually mintless, is distinguishable from the Almohad dirham as they have broader flans, reduced weight 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.
