Spain
The first European coin with a date, 1204. Spain at the time was in the middle
of ridding itself of its Muslim inhabitants. At the time this coin was struck, over
half the country by land mass, was for the most part, Muslim free. This coin, an
Obol along with the Dinero, were supposedly issued to commemorate this
accomplishment. Spain at the time was using a calendar that had been introduced
by Augustus Caesar, the Es-Safar. It was introduced in 38B.C. So while the date
on the coin is 1204 (Roman Numerals, MCCIIII) it was actually struck 1166 A.D.
using our calendar system we use today.

 

A coin from the other side of the Alboran Sea to the south. Play the next coin from Morocco. This coin from the Almohad Caliphate.
