This coin, unlike all the others in this page, may not have been struck in Cordoba were Hisham was besieged during the whole of his second reign. Atypical is the lack of a name at the bottom of the I.A and the placing the of the laqab in the second line instead of the third of the II.A, even more telling is the atypical epigraphy and design of the coin. Therefore, this coin was probably struck by any one of the miriad of Taifa rulers that sprung up across the Andalus during its prolonged civil war.
