Definição

• The one twentieth of the legal Dinar and the one fourteenth of the legal Dirhem, but in practice its relation varies greatly, i.e., it equals one twenty-fourth, and one twentieth Dinar, and one six- teenth, one twelfth, one quarter, and under the Fatimis, one half Dirhem; but this was a gold coin Kirat which is properly equal to one half Dirhem. In 599, under El'- Adil, eleven emiry Kirats were equal to one Dinar. The Kirat is equal to five Habbehs, fifteen Kirats to the Buweryhy Dirhem, and twenty to the Imamy.

  The Kirat was the smallest of all the former copper coins of Morocco, being equal in value to one fourth of the Fels.
