Fractional Dinar - Mujahid Salve of Denia - Mujahid dynasty - 1018-1075

Mujahid al-Amiri seized Dénia around 1014 after the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba, carving out one of the more unusual taifa kingdoms — a maritime power that briefly controlled Ibiza, Formentera, and mounted a sustained invasion of Sardinia that lasted from roughly 1015 to 1016 before Pisan and Genoese forces drove his fleet out. These fractional gold pieces were the small-denomination currency of a ruler who was simultaneously a naval commander, a patron of Arabic letters, and a former slave who had risen through the Córdoba palace system to independent sovereignty.

The Sardinian campaign is the detail that separates Dénia from the other taifa courts.
