SPAIN. 12th and 13th Centuries. AR dirhem (square). 1.55 gm. 14 mm. Imitation of Muwahhid dirhems. Arabic legend / Arabic legend. Mitchiner, World of Islam, 528-532. Very Fine; toned. Mitchiner (p. 114) notes that coins "were made of good quality metal and were acceptable alongside their prototypes in European trade (until forbidden by the Pope). Because of their crude form, in Islamic eyes, such coins were not welcomed in the Islamic world."
