Definición

• This coin corresponded to the gold Dinar and the Marabotin, which was struck in Spain by the Moorish dynasty of Almoravides (El-Murabitin)\ The coins of the Christian rulers of Spain are copied to some extent from their Moorish predecessors, and even the names are retained.

  The Maravedi appeared in the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella and became the unit of the Spanish copper coinage. Multiples of two, four, six, and eight Maravedis were issued, and frequently the values were altered by means of countermarks. Its nominal value, however, was one thirty- fourth of a Real. See Bassegna Numismatica (x. 53-56).
