[Andalusi Studies] Almiravid Quirats

[Tawfiq Ibrahim]

Dear members,

The page of Almoravid silver, the “Quirates”, has been updated with much larger pictures for easier reading of these very small and sometimes tiny coins, all thanks to the work of Sebastian Gasparino Garcia :   http://www.andalustonegawa.50g.com/almoravids_silver.htm

The Almoravid silver coinage was struck to very small denomination down to the real habba (a grain) weighing 0.056gr and with the actual word  ???on it, and one such even has in addition to that word the name of the ruler ‘Ali and that of his assigned successor Sir.  Find it…

The classification has also been updated to a great work of knowledge and patience the recent catalogue of Federico Benito de los Mozos, “la palta almoravide y postalmoravide: El quirate.” Seen MANQUSO 7, 2017:  http://www.amuletosdealandalus.com/Manquso.com/index.php/numero-7

Best regards,

Tawfiq Ibrahim
