Mint was identified in few coins. Yours does not have the mint under the legend in the obverse. They had 13 mints in North Africa and 11 in the al-Andaluz and islands issuing silver coins. It will be hard to identify. Report this Post to the Staff

Some more digging and some nice suggestions has led me to attribute it as Almohad Caliphate, Abu Yaqub Yusuf, AR ¼ Dirham (Square), mint ?(AH 558-580/1163-1184 AD) Obverse (First photo): La Qu'at Illa (No power except) Billah (God) Reverse (Second photo): Al-Amr Kullahu (The command is all) Li-Allah Wahdahu (God's) Similar to Numista ½ Dirham N#356704 The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
