Allāh ḥasbī, lema coránico (IX: 129) en una moneda meriní hallada en Granada
Keywords:
Numismatics, Arabic, Quran, Western Islam, InterpretationAbstract
The description of a Marinid fractional dinar found in the Nasrid khan of Granada (Spain) now called ‘Corral del Carbón’ is followed by an analysis of the epigraphic Qur’anic (9:129) slogan displayed on one of its two sides. We discuss three hypotheses about the function of such a slogan, that might have been: 1) an expression of individual religiosity, or 2) a propiciatory sentence, or 3) a theocratic statement. We conclude that the slogan was part of the discourse of legitimacy developed by Islamic dinasties, and propose a similar approach in the analysis of other religious numismatic legends.Downloads
