Fractional Dirham - Munzir ibn al-Muqtadir ibn Hud

The Taifa of Dénia was unusual among the petty kingdoms of al-Andalus in that its power was briefly maritime rather than purely territorial — the Hudid rulers had earlier controlled the Balearic Islands and even launched a raid on Sardinia in 1015. By 1083, however, that ambition was long spent. Munzir ibn al-Muqtadir ibn Hud ruled a contracting domain under pressure from the Almoravid advance and Christian kingdoms pushing south, which makes the continued production of fractional silver coinage a quiet indicator of functional, if diminished, administrative machinery.

Vives 1329 is among the later attributable issues of the Hudid line before Dénia's absorption.
