. Al Andalus - Almohad Lot comprising four (4) square dirhams 1147-1269 A.D. (No reserve price)
Square dirhams issued by the Almohad dynasty between 1147 and 1269 AD are a distinctive form of silver coinage from the medieval Islamic world. Unlike most round coins, these square pieces are notable for their unusual shape, which reflects specific minting techniques and aesthetic choices. The Almohads balanced artistic expression with practical currency needs, producing coins featuring intricate Arabic inscriptions and symbolic imagery. Such coins provide valuable insights into both the political authority of the Almohads and the artistic styles prevalent during their reign over Al Andalus and North Africa.
