1/4 Dinar - Ahmad ibn Qurhub

Ahmad ibn Qurhub seized control of Sicily around 912 in open defiance of the Aghlabid governors, minting coins in his own name — a direct act of political rebellion. His rule lasted only a few years before the Fatimids suppressed the revolt, making his coinage exceptionally short-lived. Surviving fractional dinars from this episode are rare precisely because the issuing authority ceased to exist so abruptly.
