1/4 Dinar - Abu Abdallah Muhammad V Tilimsan

The Zayyanid sultans of Tlemcen spent much of the fifteenth century caught between the Hafsids of Tunis and the Marinids — and later Wattasids — of Morocco, each pressing territorial claims on the central Maghreb. Muhammad V ruled during an exceptionally turbulent interval, with Tlemcen itself changing hands multiple times across the dynasty's history. That the mint continued producing fractional gold at all during his reign is notable given the chronic fiscal strain these conflicts imposed.

The A#519H reference places this within Album's corpus of western Islamic coinage, where Zayyanid fractions are genuinely scarce in any condition.
