| Additional information |
Abu'l-'Ula Idris II ruled the Almohad Caliphate during its terminal collapse, a period when Marinid pressure from the north and Hafsid consolidation to the east had effectively reduced Almohad authority to a rump state centered on Marrakesh. He was the penultimate Almohad caliph, deposed in 1269 — the same year the Marinids sacked Marrakesh and extinguished the dynasty entirely. Gold dinars of his reign are scarce precisely because the fiscal infrastructure required to sustain regular gold coinage was already disintegrating when these were struck.
