| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in three horizontal registers within the flan. The legend reads the royal title and name of the Almoravid ruler, invoking divine support for the Amir al-Muslimin Ali ibn Yusuf. The script is executed in a bold, angular Kufic style characteristic of Almoravid coinage, with clearly defined strokes and diacritical dots. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, bearing typical surface texture of a hammered silver piece. No border or decorative frame is present, and the inscription fills the available field to its edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ali b. Yusuf inherited the Almoravid sultanate from his father in 1106 and ruled for nearly four decades, making his issues among the most numerically abundant of the dynasty — yet the qirat, a quarter-dirham denomination, survives in genuinely small quantities relative to the volume struck. These tiny silver fractions served real commercial demand in al-Andalus, where gold dinar fractions and copper fals left a gap in everyday petty transactions that the qirat filled. The Almoravid monetary system was notably conservative, resisting the debasement that plagued contemporary Iberian Christian and taifa coinages.
