ALMOHADES, Anonymous. 1/16 Dirham? (Ar. 0.09g/7mm). S/D. (Hohertz 645, like 1/8; Medina 203c, variant without mint). Anv: حسبنا /الله (God is enough for me). Rev: Anepigraph. Good Very Fine. Very rare. While the typology of this piece fully coincides with the Almohad 1/8 Dirham, we believe that its excessively light weight, practically half the usual amount, could be due to its intention to circulate under a smaller denomination. In Henry Lavoix's catalogue (1891), we find a similar piece (709), considered a handus, a dirham denomination used for alms.
