Codera attributed this piece to Almería "because it had some similarity with some examples of number 1047" by Vives, although the treasure where those examples appeared also contained other different ones from the taifas of Toledo, Badajoz, Córdoba, Valencia, Dénia and Zaragoza. . However, preceding the intuition of Dr. Alber Cantó, it would be David Francés who would give a more logical reasoning to its origin, in his book ''On legitimacy, successions and their reflection in Andalusian coinage'' page 137-139 , justifying the attribution of this piece to Toledo, during the presence of 'Umar al-Mutawakkil king of Badajoz.

This curious and beautiful variant of the distribution of the IA divides the 'Shahada' into 'two parts'. The first, ('lā ilāh il/lā Allāh) is contained within the hexagram of the seal of Solomon, while the second, (Muḥammad/rasūl/Allāh) is found triangulating the first one, following the line of one of the triangles that forms the aforementioned seal.

TAIFAS OF THE CALIPHATE, Banu Hud-Lerida. Yusuf al-Muzaffar (438-47?H). Dirham. (Ve. 4.08g/27mm). 459H?. Lérida / لاردة. (Vives 1247; Prieto y Vives 281c; Medina 109; Jiménez 2160). Mint mark and date not visible. VF+. Extremely rare.

After the death of Sulayman ben Hud, king of Zaragoza, the Taifa was divided among his 5 sons, with 'Larida' corresponding to Yusuf / يوسف, who took the title of al-Muzaffar / المظفر, also using, as stated on his coins, the surnames of Sayyid al-Dawla, Tay al-Dawla and Du al-Siyadatain. ''Of his few coins, this would be the last, since his brother Ahmad al-Muqtadir, king of Zaragoza, against whom he was in constant war, took him prisoner, reincorporating the Taifa of Lérida into his kingdom, possibly in this same year 459H, the date of his last known coins. Although some authors, based on other documents, set these events in the last four years of Ahmad's life, between 471-475H.''

Although he was the son of Abu Bakr, little is known about him from the sources. Numismatic literature records a series of Dinars minted by him in Segilmesa between the years 462-467H, while this is the only type of quirate that is known about this ruler and that was published by Benito de los Mozos (Gaspariño 2017, 83-86) and that presents the same characteristics as those issued in the name of his father.

ALMORAVIDES, Yusuf ben Tashfin (480-500H). Dirham/Quirate. (Ar. 0.90g/12mm). (4)94H. Miknasa (Meknes) / مكـناسة. (Benito Ba1). Good Very Fine/Extremely Fine-. Extremely rare.
This piece, halfway between the new Almoravid metrology and the traditional design of other periods, presents Yusuf with the title of Nasir al-Din on the reverse border and without mention of an heir, while on the obverse, we can highlight the perfection of the tiny date, fully expressing the unit and decade: سنة اربع و تسعين, a peculiarity that we do not find in any other copy.

We only have evidence of two pieces with similar characteristics. The first, the origin of its cataloging and belonging to the Tonegawa collection, was auctioned by Áureo y Calico, in volume I of the same (02/15/2024) and sold for €1,700. As a unique example, it contains the unit and the beginning of ten. While the second, auctioned by Stephen Album Rare Coins, 48 (01/18/2024), only contained the unit.
