Abstract


The silver coins issued by the Umayyad Andalusi Emir Muḥammad I are described diachronically from an stylistic perspective. The first series were designed according to the standards set by ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II. This was followed by a period of transition, and then by a final period, after 250 AH, when the flan is enlarged, leaving room for the inscriptions and ornaments of both areas of the coin. This esthetical improvement lasted until the end of the Umayyad Emirate and we can consider it a first step in an artistic movement that had its final implementation during the Umayyad Caliphate of Spain.
