Once the #Almohad left Iberia in 1228, the #Nasrid dynasty rose in what is now southern #Spain. The #EmirateOfGranada held out until #ThisDayInHistory in 1492, for most of that time the only peninsular #Muslim emirate. Its conquest by #Castile and #Aragon ended the #Reconquista.
Black case with a square engraved coin in it, and it is labeled Elmo had caliphate square deer hum 1121 to 1269 AD. There is also a certificate of authenticity shown next to the coin.
Do I have a coin collection? No. Am I starting one? Also no.
It was on sale though — and I love anything that affords me a greater understanding of the Marīnid, Almohad & Almoravid dynasties. #numismatics #history #maghreb #almohad #morocco #coins #medieval #dirham #amazigh #imazighen
