Period False of this ruler. Fractional dinar, copper with taces guilding. Similar to Vives 379.
After a hiatus of nearly forty years the Cordoba mint was re-established during the reign of ´Abd al-Rahman III on the 13th of Ramadan, 316H. The coins of the first year are extremely rare, probably no more than three such coins are known.( A coin attributed to this date by Miles, his 186a, is an obvious error – see the article in al-Sikka 2001, vol 3.1, ” A century old numismatic myth”).
The correct techniques of striking coins must have been partially lost during this four decade closure as can be evidenced by the many uneven strikes in the coinage of the first four years.

This coin was probably silver plated. It would be difficult to ascertain whether or not this coin was a product of the actual mint. Many of the coins struck for nearly a decade under the mint master Sa’id ibn al Djassas are evidently of base silver. This led to public protestation and Sa’id was duly put in jail. The leniency of the punishment and the extreme brevity of his stay in jail ( quick royal pardon) would perhaps indicate that this lengthy debasement of coinage was probably due to state policy and not just Sa’id’s greed.

Vives (pg 54) considered this coin to be North African and probably from the mint of Fas, due to its aspect and the name al-Mu’izz.
Miles (pg 233), reasonably, adds that it could be a counterfeit. The coins of Fas with the name Mu’izz do not appear until the last decade of that 4th century. The date on this coin is not that clear and could also be read as 393H., while the reading of the ruler, though probable, has quite a few epigraphic errors. The coin seems to be of good silver.

This very rare and historically important dinar was actually struck by ‘Abd al-Rahman “el Sanchuelo” the youngest son of al Mansur. In the I.A ‘Abd al Rahman names as khadjib his infant son ‘Abd al -‘Azziz. This absurd appointment and his own claim to the succession after Hisham II was the spark that started the Cordoba revolution or “fitna” which rapidly lead to the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate and the start of the turbulent Taifa period.

There is an interesting hiatus in the coinage of al-Andalus from the year 372 to 376 inclusive were no coins seem to have been struck. ( Miles’s references for the years 372, 373, 374, 375 and 379 – his numbers 272, 274, 275, 276 & 277 respectively are to be prudently discarded as very dubious indirect references of which, to date, none have ever been confirmed.)
From the events registered in the historical chronicles of those years there is no event or combination of them which would in any way justify the closure of the mint for five years. Was it then deemed that there were too many coins in circulation?

Some of the dirhams of 379H, similar to the following two, were mistakenly classified as of 399H by Miles ( see his numbers 340 (c)- (n). Even though the somewhat fancy epigraphy of the second digit, with the decreasing strokes of the initial “sin” fusing into the “ba”, could be somewhat confusing the sudden and unique re-appearance, at this late a date, of ‘Amir on the I.A should have been enough to give the initial reading a second thought.

The following four coins (n 41-44) are quite atypical for this period and were, as such, set apart by Vives. They all lack the obligatory “Amir” on the II.A and the name of the mint master on the I.A. There seems to be no reasonable explanation for this double omition.

This coin, unlike all the others in this page, may not have been struck in Cordoba were Hisham was besieged during the whole of his second reign. Atypical is the lack of a name at the bottom of the I.A and the placing the of the laqab in the second line instead of the third of the II.A, even more telling is the atypical epigraphy and design of the coin. Therefore, this coin was probably struck by any one of the miriad of Taifa rulers that sprung up across the Andalus during its prolonged civil war.

The turbulent year of 414H. saw no less than three rulers take power in Cordoba. ’Abd al-Rahman a youth of barely 23 years, with an attested talent for poetry, had the shortest permanence of the three. His reign was to last the whole of 47 days and was abruptly ended with his death at the hands of Muhammad III.
Of ’Abd al-Rahman V, Ibn Bassam ( Al-Dahira vol.I, pg 37, Cairo 1939) would say ” a Sultan so poor, that not even a single dirham came to his hand”. This last phrase only emphasises the rarity of the present coin.
