ALMORAVIDS. Ibrahim Ben Abu Bakr Ben 'Umar (c. 1068-1077). Quirate. (Ar. 0.95g/12mm). Undated. (Vives does not cite; Hazard does not cite; Benito AB1). Obverse: 'Shahadah' in four lines. Reverse: الامير (the Emir) / ابرا هيم بن (Ibrahim son of) / ابي بكـر (Abu Bakr). Very Fine. Extremely rare. Even though he was the son of Abu Bakr, little is known about this figure from the sources. Numismatic literature records a series of Dinars minted by him in Segilmesa between the years 462-467H, while this is the only type of qirate known from this ruler and was published by Benito de los Mozos (Gaspariño 2017, 83-86) and has the same characteristics as those issued in the name of his father.
