First, we examine some unregistered Almohad and Post-Almohad coins, and discuss the attribution or reading of some others. As a result a discussion of a hypothesis on Idrīs al-Ma’mūn’s silver coins is offered and some new items are added to the numismatic corpus of Western Islam. This work leads us to a general overview of the Islamic discourse prevailing in Islamic Spain and North Africa after the so-called Almohad revolution. Considering this discourse as a dynamic work in progress, we focus on a number of issues: (1) the Qur’ānic aim of eternal life as a touchstone in the Almohad system of ideas, (2) the issue whether salvation is possible without actual human guides, (3) the evolution from negative to affirmative theology, (4) the ties binding the numismatic discourse and the Almohad and Post-Almohad ruling classes.
