*Almoravid, Yusuf b. Tashfin, dinar, Sijilmasa 500h, 4.14g (Hazard 173, note = Brethes 835), twice pierced, almost very fine and very rare Struck in the year that Yusuf b. Tashfin died; dinars of this date are known from Sijilmasa in the name of his successor, 'Ali b. Yusuf (Hazard 173). Hazard also reports a coin of 'Ali b. Yusuf dated 499h, and it may be this which led him to question Brethes' attribution of a dinar dated 500h to 'Ali's predecessor.
Estimate: £250 - 300
