ALMORAVIDES, Ali Ibn Yusuf (500-537H). Get rid of yourself. (Ar. 0.81g/13mm). S/D. Miknasa (Meknes) / مكـناسة. Anv: 'Shahadah' in two lines, below: توكلنكعر? (I trust you). Rev: Central legend: علي / المسلين / امير (The emir/of the Muslims/Ali), border: بسم الله ضرب هذالدرهم بمكناسة (In the name of God minted this dirham in Miknasa). Extremely Fine-. Dark patina. Unpublished. Similar to this piece, the very rare Vives 1673 type is known, catalogued as 1/2 Quirate, which is also collected by Hazard with reference 907 and Benito Cb13. Therefore, due to the high weight of the piece we present, as well as an apparent difference in the last line of the legend on the obverse, we consider this specimen not only to be a complete unit, but also unique, requiring a new cataloging in accordance with this new metrology and varied legend.
