English MERINIDS, Anonymous. Double dirham/amulet. (Ar. 2.97g/23mm). Late 13th or early 14th century. Fas (Fez) / فا س. (Album not cited; Hohertz not cited). Religious legend divided into 5 lines in both areas and mint divided in the lower corners of the obverse: فا - س. Extremely Fine-. Very rare. According to our sources, only 3 known examples with mint, this one was published by Felipe Agüera on April 6, 2025 in the Hispano-Arabic coin group.

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.
