The Almohades used their coins to spread their religious and ideological messages, not being an exception in this respect. The new squared form, the metrology and the legends of Almohad numismatics reflect the historical situation and their social and political standing. The squared form established an equivalence of the coin with its corresponding ponderal, this constituting a statement of identity. The religious legends reflect the Almohad theology centered around the unity of God and the motto of the dynasty. The genealogical legends deal with the dynastic legitimacy of the sovereign.
