English KINGDOM OF GRANADA. Nasrid seal/matrix. (Pb. 15.39g/32x31x2.5mm). Possibly 15th century. Monetiform lead plate with nasji writing in intaglio. Anv: Negative simulation of the design of a Nasrid dub. Rev: Anepigraph, with marks of an ancient fastening system. In 2014, Sebastián Gaspariño carried out a study of this piece, where he presented a very interesting possible interpretation, in which he qualifies the piece as a "Die Model" designed to beat the obverse of a dinar (double) coin of Muhammad XII. from Granada (Boabdil), despite this and the view of its characteristics, we can only identify it as a seal. (Piece published in OMNI SI1-04/2014). Very Fine. Extremely rare specimen.
