| Additional information |
Abu Ziyan Muhammad II ruled during one of the Marinid dynasty's most fractious periods — his reign was bracketed by the kind of dynastic violence that made stable coin production an achievement in itself. The Marinids had by the 1360s lost their grip on al-Andalus and were fighting internal pretenders as much as external enemies. Madinat Fas, the royal capital, remained the primary mint even as political authority fragmented across the Maghreb.
The A#532 reference places this within a well-documented Marinid gold series, though surviving examples attributable to Muhammad II's abbreviated reign are considerably scarcer than those of his longer-ruling predecessors.
