Help to identify this (Spanish/Moorish) coin, please?

This coin is bronze and is 17 mm., 1.57 gm.
One person suggests that it could be from the 'Moorish' occupation of Spain, c. 1200 A.D., but I am unable to confirm this.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this,please?
(I hope the photos are the right way up.)
(Possibly Islamic 'Fels' - Felus ?)

oh man, sorry TC...i can't really ID these when in good shape. but i think you're barking up the right tree.

abbasid maybe?

 

Thanks, Chris, Steve.

 

no problem, my friend

 

Sorry, no help here ...but I wish you luck with the ID.

 

Thanks Mikey.
Just looked up abbasid, Chris. I will spend some time there tomorrow.
In the meantime I do have a couple more of the 'Moorish' coins 'unearthed' in Spain. Any 'clues' on (any of) the three?

1/ 20mm., 1.07 gm.


2/ 13 mm., 2.0 gm.

 

Islamic looks right. If you go to sixbid there is a larger one:

aesearch has something similar:

Steve Albums checklist of islamic Coinage is a great reference book/ hopefully someone will do a companion edition with colour plates to show each coin/ mint/ruler.

 

Apparently that is in the works for the next edition. I suspect Album will use Zeno and other sources for the coins...

 

These coins are so gone that it would be difficult to identify the mint and ruler...Might I suggest you download Lavoix and try to identify them yourself:
