I have no success in the French Forum with the following coin, so I submit it to you.
This silver coin is 13 mm (diameter) (sorry, I have not the weight...) but very similar to 1/2 dirham.
I was thinking, when I bought it that it was a Sa'dian coin, but I did not find similar in my books or on the web.
There is no "date" as per Sa'dian; early Alawi are without date but not similar to this coin...
So I'am thinking that it is not a Morrocan coin, even if I bought it in Morocco?
There was one Wattasid: Abu 'l -"Abbas Ahmad"(AH 932-952) but Wattasid dirhams are square.
And 3 Sa'dian sharifs:
1) Abu el Abbas Ahmed I AH 923-951)
2) Abu 'l 'Abbas Ahmad II el Mansur (AH 986-1012)
3) Abu 'l Abbas Ahmad III (AH-1037-1038)
For 1) the mint is Sijilmasa, ther are only 4 1/4 dirhams (13 mm) in "Méreaux" book, but no reference in Brethes or Album., but may-be they are the nearest of mine.
For 2 ) Usually we can read "el Mansur" (Brethes 1432, 1434, 1435, 1439, 1441,..)
For 3) It was the end of Sa'dian , only one coin is known with the mention "al-soltan Ahmad"
Few minutes ago, on the French forum, Cycnos think tha t the first line could be "Badr-al"....
Do you know some others "Abdallah Ahmad" who are not from Morroco?
Sa’dian Sharifs
Ruler: Abu’l-‘Abbas al-Mahdi, rebel in the region of Sijilmasa, circa 1020-1022 / 1611-1613
Half dirham
w/o mint
w/o date on coin, but phrasing matches dinar and half dinar with date of 1021 H / 1612 AD
reference: #247 in
Edit
The correct title of the thesis is: The Inscriptions on the movable monuments of Morocco during the reign of the Sa'dian sharfs 916-1069 A.H 1510-1659 AD : an archaeological comparative study (2010) by Naiera Rafik Galal
