Moneta ta może być chrześcijańską imitacją kwadratowego dirhama Almohadów. Nie jest jasne, które chrześcijańskie królestwo je wybiło, ale ludzie spekulują, że zostały one wykonane pod rządami Korony Aragonii. Dirham był bardzo popularny na Półwyspie Apenińskim, więc może to być powód, dla którego został wyprodukowany.

Aby dowiedzieć się, czy moneta jest Dirhamem czy Millarés, należy spojrzeć na znaki i wagę. Oprócz tego, że znaki na Millarés są zdeformowane i nie są prawdziwym pismem arabskim, moneta jest lżejsza niż prawdziwy Dirham

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This coin could be a Chistian imitation of an Almohad square dirham. It is unclear which Christian kingdom had them minted but people speculate on it being made under the Crown of Aragon. The Dirham was very popular in the Peninsula so that may be a reason for it to have been made.

To know if a coin is a Dirham or a Millarés, one should look at the characters and the weight. Besides the characters on the Millarés being deformed and not actual arabic script, the coin is itself lighter than a true Dirham
