<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2475375, member: 76194&quot;]Well, perhaps you&#039;ll appreciate this then...it&#039;s from the Almohad Caliphate, the last caliphate to rule Spain prior to the creation of the Emirate of Granada. Under the leadership of the Almohads, Muslim rule in Spain shrank as their armies saw disastrous defeats at the hands of the Christian kings. Finally, the Muslims in Iberia had enough and broke off in 1238 to form the Emirate of Granada, a client Muslim Kingdom which paid tribute to the Spanish kings. It worked for them for over 200 years, until the Christians decided to reconquer the remaining parts of Iberia.</p><p><br /></p><p>This dirham might have been used as currency in Southern Spain during the mid-12th through mid-13th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]521589[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
