Square, but not boring

[Figleaf]

Original thread in "Numismatique" is here. Dimensions: 1.45 x 1.5 mm. Material looks bronze in original thread, but by manipulating saturation and diminishing reds, as in the attachments, it seems likely to be silver.

I think it is North African or Spanish dinar. As I can't find the word zarb, my best guess would be a North African anonymous dinar of the Almohad or Benhud dynasty - Cayón 728 or 809.

See the following thread:

There are several types of these coins and most of them are described in Hohertz...

That thread gives good detail on two text varieties. Look at this page to see that there are many more. My current favourite is Hohertz 35, which is assigned to Malaga, but I'd like some confirmation or comment.

It is very closed to Hohertz 35 but has some differences: for example, in the first face, the caracter in the middle of the second line has two dots more than Hohertz 35, and the middle of the third line is different too.
