| Additional information |
Abu Ziyan Muhammad III held power for barely two years before being deposed, one of several Marinid sultans whose reigns collapsed under the dynasty's chronic instability in its final decades. By the 1370s, the Marinids were effectively puppets of rival Berber factions and Castilian pressure, with real authority increasingly fragmented across competing claimants. Gold dinars of this reign are genuinely scarce — not by design, but because so little was actually struck before the regime ended.
