1 Dirham - Abu l'Abbas Ahmad

The Wattasid sultans ruled an increasingly pressured Morocco — Portuguese fortresses controlled key Atlantic ports, and the Sa'adian dynasty was pushing hard from the south. Abu l'Abbas Ahmad, the last effective Wattasid ruler, spent much of his reign in a losing struggle on both fronts before the Sa'adians finally absorbed his dynasty in 1549. Coinage from his reign is scarce in any form; the political instability of the period disrupted mint output significantly.

The Hohertz reference places this among a thinly documented series, and surviving examples rarely appear outside Moroccan and specialist Iberian collections.
