CE/NU03197. Fragment of a dinar issued by Badis b. Habus
(1038-1073, 429-466 H), third taifa king of
Granada. There are inscriptions in the fields and
around the edge on both sides, but the latter are
not legible. This dinar is, however, identical in all
aspects to other specimens of its kind.
Obverse – central legend, in a circle: Bi-smi/Allh
/Duriba/Hada/Al-Dinar (This coin was struck in
the name of God). Edge: illegible.
Reverse – central legend, in a circle: Muhamad/
Rasul /Allah/... (Muhamad, the envoy of God).
Edge: illegible.
