Abstract


This article analyzes the coins issued by 'Alī b. Ḥammūd, the first caliph of the Ḥammūdi dynasty in al-Andalus, in the year 408/1017-1018. Special attention has been given to the analysis of monetary legends and their relation with different aspects of legitimation of the dynasty. The images of fish depicted in one of the series of coins has been studied and a number of hypotheses have been suggested, to provide a deeper knowledge of Ḥammūdi numismatic. Finally, the article includes a catalogue of the coins decorated with fish figures from that year.
