Dirham - Hisham II First reign, Madinat Fas

Madinat Fas — medieval Fez — operated as a peripheral mint within the Córdoban Umayyad system, and its output during Hisham II's first reign reflects the administrative reach of his regent, the chamberlain al-Mansur ibn Abi Aamir. Hisham II was nominally caliph from age eleven, effectively sidelined while al-Mansur ran the caliphate and prosecuted raids deep into Christian Iberia. Coins struck in his name were political instruments of that fiction.

The Fas mint attribution is confirmed by the mint name in the margin field — one of the more legible diagnostic details across this series.
