Catalog Album 530

The Merinids inherited the western part of the Almohad territories, more or less corresponding  modern Morocco.

This type is anonymous, attributed to the time  of Abu’l-Hasan ‘Ali by Album.  He writes, "these anonymous square dirhams have al-qur’an imamuna (“The Qur’an is our Imam”) in the bottom line of the reverse, a veiled reference to the Merinid refusal to claim the caliphate."

Album notes "This type may have well been struck for several decades after ‘Ali’s death, ultimately replaced by the next common issue, type #542 of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz II (796-799 / 1393-1396)"
