ALMOHADS, Anonymous on behalf of Al-Mahdi. Dirham. (Ar. 1.44g/15mm). S/D. (Hazard 1123 var; Hohertz 617). VF. A rare and very beautiful example. This piece features very striking ornamental Kufic calligraphy in the Hafsid style and is similar to the coins attributed to Abu Hafs 'Umar al-Murtada with the mint mark 'Al-Hadrat al-Muminiya al-Murtadiya' (Honertz 563). Therefore, it was possibly minted at the same time by some governor of the area.

ALMOHADES, Anonymous. 1/16 Dirhem? (Ar. 0.10g/7mm). S/D. (Hohertz 645 as 1/8; Medina 203c, variant without mint). Anv: الله / حسبنا. (God is enough for me). Rev: Anepigraph. Good Very Fine. Very rare.

Although the typology of this piece fully coincides with the 1/8 of the Almohad Dirham, we consider that its excessive lack of weight, practically half of the usual (0.19/0.13g), could be due to the intention of circulating under one less divisor. In the catalogue of Henry Lavoix (1891), we find a similar piece (709), considering this one as a handus, a divider of the dirhem used for alms.
