TAIFAS AFTER THE ALMORAVIDS: Anonymous, 1146-1155, AV dinar (3.86g), NM, AH554, A-4201, cf. VyE-1998/2002 for a group of somewhat similar examples of different years, obverse legend ends with al-amr kulluhu lillah la / quwwa illa billah, lovely strike on broad flan, without any weakness (formerly type A-405 in the Checklist), appears to be unpublished date, EF, RR. This type was probably issued somewhere in southeastern Spain by local contenders opposed to the rising Kings of Murcia and the Almohades arriving from North Africa. The overall calligraphic style resembles some of the dinars minted in the early to mid 540s in and around the Spanish city of Jaén.
