Unidentified islamic gold coin

[Lentulus Batiatus]

Hi

I need more information to identify this coin, I think it may be from muslim Spain perhaps the Caliphate of Cordoba or  Almoravid Dynasty.

Measures 25 mm and weighs 3.90 grs.

Thanks in advance

Almoravid dynasty , Mint Esh' Bilia     (  Seville )
Year 518  AH  
Ruler ; Ali bin Yousef

[Lentulus Batiatus]

Thanks!!

You are very welcome.

Just give me sometimes , I want to be be 100% sure about the struck date of  AH 518 .

I circled the ruler name for you .

Ali Bin Yousef   (   means  Ali son of Joseph   علي بن يوسف )

As they say 4 eyes better than 2

Does this look a match to you ?

The characters that you encircled seems almost identical, the only difference I see is the sign to the left.

 I have no idea of arabic writing I do not know if my observation helps you

Thanks again  

[Sam]

Alright , I think yours date is   AH 518.

the circled word in Arabic , I read it 8   ثمان
As you know no dots here - on coins for some letters -

Ali bin Yusuf bin Tashfin   ruled from (AH 476 هـ/ AD1083 م AH 537 هـ/ AD1143 م)

[Lentulus Batiatus]

OK, date is AH 518 or 1125 AD.

Thanks again 

[Sam]

You are very welcome , to my eyes looks an 8 .

To tell you the truth I had a doubt to be a 5 , but the 5 written in Arabic has a sin (S ) in the end which has 3 vertical lines like the one in circle 1.
The word in circle 2  has only 2 vertical lines in the end , plus they are not identical.
So as we said   AH 518.
