This specimen was lot 43194 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2026), where it sold for $16,800. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ISLAMIC KINGDOMS. Abbadids. Taifas of Seville. Dinar, AH 467 (1074/5). Seville (Madinat Ishbiliya) Mint. al-Mu'tamid Muhammad. NGC MS-64. A VERY RARE emission from the third and final ruler of the short-lived Abbadid dynasty of Seville in [[Spain|al-Andalus]]. In 1085, the Taifa of Seville was attacked and weakened by Christian mercenaries, allowing the Almoravids to easily conquer the area when they invaded a few years later. An extraordinary survivor of this extremely elusive date, with only one other example appearing in public auction over the past 25 years, according to our searches. By far the finest certified Dinar of the ruler, with fresh yellow-golden surfaces that exhibit as-struck sharpness and no evidence of wear." Other mints for this coin included Cordoba and Murcia. Muhammad al-Mu'tamid, the third and last caliph of the dynasty, reigned AH 461-484 (1069-1091). Wikipedia comments, <blockquote>"The Abbadid dynasty or Abbadids (Arabic: بنو عباد, romanized: Banū ʿAbbād) was an Arab dynasty...which ruled the Taifa of Seville in al-Andalus following the fall of the Caliphate of Cordoba in 1031. After the collapse, they were the most powerful Taifa and before long absorbed most of the others. Abbadid rule lasted from about 1023 until 1091, but during the short period of its existence it exhibited singular energy and typified its time."</blockquote>

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Catalog reference:'' Vives-Unlisted; A-403 (RR); Prieto Supplement-155 (same dies), [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-589]].
