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 or: 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 of 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 would be David Francés who would give a more logical reasoning to 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'.

As a variant of Ibrahim, Cantó (2003), Supplement to the Taifa Kingdoms, no. 169, states that this piece belongs to the series of anonymous hexagram coins that Codera attributed to Almería "because they bear some resemblance to some examples of Vives' no. 1047, although the hoard where those examples appeared also contained others from the Taifa kingdoms of Toledo, Badajoz, Córdoba, Valencia, Dénia, and Zaragoza." However, preceding Dr. Albert Cantó's intuition, it was David Francés who provided a more logical explanation of 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 reign of ʿUmar al-Mutawakkil, king of Badajoz. https://wearenumismatics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Manquso08.pdf
