Some square dirhams

4 posts
I recently got these coins.
They look similar with some differences.
Size is 14mm and weight between 1.50 and 1.55gr
Any help on id welcome :)

For number 3, I found this one: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/david_l_tranbarger_rare_coins/159/product/islamic_north_africa_muwahhids_almohads_c_12th13th_century_square_ar_dirham/580765/Default.aspx
Which looks like a very close match.
From what I have seen these exist eather with or without mint (like mine).
But they have a different decoration at top left of the first picture.
Does that have any interest to the collectors of this type?

​The coin mentioned as a third variation for number 3 is not Hudid and not from the Ceuta mint. It is without a mint and could be Muwahhid or Hafsid, but is normally assigned to the Muwahhids.

Coins #1 and #2 are also Muwahhid but with simple Kufic script (#3 has Naskh script). They are without mint. All three coins are without dates, but #1 and #2 are thought to be from the early part of Muwahhid rule.
