Comment
From the website "Coins of al-Andalus Tonegawa collection":"The following coins, stuck by an unknown al-Hadjib Khalid, are suspected to be somehow related to the taifa of Badajoz. The reason for this is the appearance of the name Muwafaq on these coins. This name later appears, invariably, on all the known coins of Yahya al-Mansur of Badajoz.Though, the scarcity of written sources makes any affirmation speculative."

Interesting fact
The 1 Dinar coin from the Uncertain Iberian taifa (Al-Andalus and Ceuta) made of Gold weighing 3.03 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin from this time period and region, and its existence suggests that there was a high level of economic activity and trade in the area during the 11th century.
