Notes
An exceptional and rare example of the Islamisation of Andalusian gold coinage. The reverse bears the second half of the Kalima, the name of the mint and the date. The Latin legend on the obverse also includes the date, although a lack of space or lack of understanding on the part of the engraver meant that this was often incomplete (e.g. "XCV" rather than "XCVIII").
