Abstract
ABSTRACTBefore the implementation of a monetary system based on silver coins (dirhams), an ephemeral multi-metallic coinage was in effect in al-Andalus. The first dinars struck in the Iberian peninsula have been traditionally linked to military progress. Some of the copper coins (fulūs) were minted at the moment of the conquest and should be considered a tool in the jund’s organization. These coins and seals are almost the only traces of the military occupation and of the first deployments of Arab troops in the Iberian peninsula. Consequently, numismatic study is crucial for an understanding of the conquest of al-Andalus.
