MERINIDTemp. Abu’l-Hasan ‘Ali, AH 731-752 / 1331-1351 AD, or slightly later silver square dirhams Average weight 0.8--0.9 cm. Average 13-14 mm on a side, 17-18 mm diagonal. Price is for one chosen at random from the photo. Catalog Album 530 The Merinids inherited the western part of the Almohad territories, more or less corresponding modern Morocco. This type is anonymous, attributed to the time of Abu’l-Hasan ‘Ali by Album. He writes, "these anonymous square dirhams have al-qur’an imamuna (“The Qur’an is our Imam”) in the bottom line of the reverse, a veiled reference to the Merinid refusal to claim the caliphate." Album notes "This type may have well been struck for several decades after ‘Ali’s death, ultimately replaced by the next common issue, type #542 of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz II (796-799 / 1393-1396)" ====================================== COMBINED POSTAGE: USA: flat $5 fee per package, no additional postage for additional coins.
