Qirat - Ali b. Yusuf avec émir Sir

Ali ibn Yusuf ruled the Almoravid empire at its territorial peak but spent much of his reign fighting losing battles against the Almohad movement rising in the Atlas Mountains. The inclusion of a secondary emir's name — almost certainly a local governor or military commander granted titular authority — reflects the administrative reality of a dynasty stretched thin across Iberia and North Africa simultaneously. These fractional silver pieces circulated in a monetary system where gold dinars dominated prestige transactions; the qirat filled the gap for everyday exchange in the souks of Marrakesh and al-Andalus.
