Almoravid dinar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Almoravid dinar (Arabic: الدينار المرابطي) was a gold dinar coin minted under the Almoravid dynasty in the Maghreb and Iberia.[1][2] The mints that produced them were supplied by the West African gold mines south of the Sahara desert.[1][3] The Almoravid dinars circulated widely beyond the reach of the empire; the Christian kingdoms of Iberia called them "marabotins" and "maravedís".[3]
