ALMORAVIDS. Ibrahim ben Abu Bakr Ben 'Umar (c. 460-470 AH). Quirate. (Ar. 0.88g/13mm). Undated. (Vives does not cite; Hazard does not cite; Benito AB1). Obverse: 'Sahada' in four lines. Reverse: الامير (the Emir) / ابرا هيم بن (Ibrahim son of) / ابي بكـر (Abu Bark). Very Fine. Dark patina. Extremely rare.

Although 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 462-467 AH, while this is the only type of qirat known from this ruler and was published by Benito de los Mozos (Gaspariño 2017, 83-86) and presents the same characteristics as those issued in his father's name.
