TAIFAS DEL CALIPHATE, Anonymous attributed to Toledo. Dinar fraction. (El. 0.64g/14mm). S/D. (Codera and Zaidin (1897) 1047 bis; Ibrahim, Cantó (2003) Supplement to the Kingdoms of Taifas, no. 169, French no. 362). Anv: لااله الاالله / محمدرسول الله. Reverend: الح و ل و القوة / الله. (For God / power and might). Very Fine. Escas.Codera attributed this piece to Almería "because it has some resemblance to some examples of no. 1047 in Vives, although the hoard where those examples appeared also contained other different ones from the taifas of Toledo, Badajoz, Córdoba, Valencia, Dénia and Zaragoza. However, preceding the intuition of Dr. Albert Cantó, it was David Francés who gave a more logical explanation for its origin, in his book "On Legitimacy, Successions and their Reflection in Andalusian Coinage" pp. 137-139, justifying the attribution of this piece to Toledo, during the presence of 'Umar al-Mutawakkil, king of Badajoz'.
