Hello everyone

 

Can you identify the  mint of this Almohad square dirham, I can't find it in any catalogue.

 

 

Thank you very much for your help

My best bet is “Malaga” though I am no expert on these.

Hi, I think it's Fas (Fez) (فَاس)

I don't think it's fes I already see a multitude of fes mint pieces, perhaps I need to give a more clear picture

I thought I saw Fez written, but maybe I'm wrong

I hope this one will be more clear, as you can see it's far from being Fes, I was thinking about Marrakech or cartagena or some andalous mint.

No, I'm almost certain it's not Marrakech, but Fez. The only mint that could be similar to Fez is Gabes (قابس), but the first letter is slightly different. 

This coin is Hohertz #601a:

 I have six of them, including one of mediocre quality with a mint similar to yours:

Thank you very much for your comments and feedback. But as I said, it's not Fez. I'm providing examples of Fes mint from my collection for comparison.

Even though I don't specify it, the piece is in very good condition, especially at the bottom.
