Al Andalus and Islamic coins

ALMOHADE PERIOD. Amulet-case. (Pb. 11.08g/25x16X7mm). Possibly 13th-14th century. Tube-shaped lead case with remains of three fastening rings at the top. The piece presents ornamental Kufic writing, with graceful strokes with simple arrow endings. Anv: لا إله إلّا ألله (There is no god but God). Rev: Despite having the first part of the legend practically erased, its reading is clear: (محمد رس)ول ألله (Muhammad is the Messenger of God). (Similar to Amulets 234. Type B-Three-handled tubes). Very Fine.

TAIFAS OR ALMORAVID PERIOD. "Mihrab" amulet. (Pb. 13.05g/27x22mm). Possibly 11th-12th century. Rectangular lead plate folded into a closed triptych. This Amulet, one of the so-called "mihrab" ones, presents elegant Kufic writing, with the shafts finished with a bevel and slight curvature at the ends and long letters. However, the design of the trilobed arch that occupies the center of the piece, as well as the beginning of the legend that frames it: ... / تحصّنت بذي العزّ. (I strengthen myself in him who has majesty) coincide fully with Amulet No. 20, which makes us think that we may find ourselves facing a piece of the same mold. (Type A-VI Amulets). Good Very Fine.

CALIFAL PERIOD. Monetiform amulet. (Pb. 3.67g/27mm). Possibly 10th century. In both areas, three lines of linear Kufic writing, with the stems of the long letters finished with a bevel. The legends are a succession of the letters "lam" and "alif" with some letters between them, which must form a kind of litany, possibly of a magical nature. The only visible difference between both areas is the external circular band, which on the obverse contains a motif of dots and on the reverse a motif of small oblique scratch . (Amulets 356-N10. Type B-III, same specimen). Very Fine.

TAIFAS PERIOD OR LATER. Monetiform amulet. (Pb. 5.31g/25mm). Possibly 11th-13th century. The piece is limited in both areas by a square border, of which the lower part is not visible. It is formed by a smooth interior fillet in which a line of points follow one another. On the outside, a band develops in which slightly inclined lines follow one another. Anv: Divided into six lines, Quranic text in Kufic with some gaps: بسم ألله الرحمن ا / لرحيم ـ ـ ـ ـ و من / الحمد ـ ـ ـ. (In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful... and who praises her...). Rev: Divided into five lines, Quranic text in Kufic with some gaps: ا الذّي /ــ ـ ـ ـ (Praise be to him who ....propose, and good is your thing. There is no other god than the one who....). This curious piece undoubtedly corresponds to a rectangular amulet struck in a round coin. The result is that the bottom part of the border has been lost, possibly with a line on each side, and the borders on the other three sides are cut. (Amulets 382-N16. Type B-III, same specimen). Very Fine.
