English MERINIDS, Anonymous. Double dirham/amulet. (Ar. 2.89g/23mm). Late 13th or early 14th century. (Album 547D and Brethes 1072, as Almohad coinage; Hohertz 872, catalogued as RRR). Religious legend divided into 5 lines in both areas. VF+. Small opening and detached suspension element. Very rare.
Although this piece is similar to the double and quadruple dirhams of Abu Hafs 'Umar (Album 493S and 493T), it is now considered a very early Merinid issue.
