This somewhat coarsely engraved 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.
