| Additional information |
Muhammad XII — known to the Spanish as Boabdil — ruled as the last Nasrid sultan through a decade of civil war against both his own father and the advancing Castilian forces of Ferdinand and Isabella. This dinar circulated during the terminal collapse of the emirate, a period when Granada's treasury was financing ransom payments, factional bribes, and ultimately the negotiated surrender of January 1492. Coins of this reign exist in notably small numbers, a direct consequence of the political fragmentation that made consistent minting nearly impossible.
