These coins are important epigraphic documents as they give us ( in IA ) the earliest dated use of naskhi script in al-Andalus. A then singular use that was not to reappear in coinage until nearly three decades later.

Habba or 1/16 Quirat*. 0.0506gr 5mm B-Cd9 Numisma 233, pg 56, nº67, this coin.	This tiny coin/ weight with both the name ´Ali and Sir can obviously be dated between 522 and 533. See two other habbas in the anonymous coins of this dynasty and one in the silver of Muhammad ibn Sa´d in the Almoravid Taifas. These few weights are about all the material metrological evidence we have for habbas of the Almoravid period. * Vives´s numismatic Quirat, the actual coin, was arbitrarily defined by him at a theoretical weight of 1gr and it is his definition we use numismaticaly. Nevertheless in classical Islamic metrology the Quirat is equal to three habbas ( closer to the 1/8 Quirat of Vives).
