Definizione

• The name given to certain square silver coins struck by the Almohades in Spain and Northern Africa during the twelfth century. They appear to be the successors of the Miliarenses (q.v.).

  The name Millares, however, is more frequently used for the imitations of these half Dirhems made by a number of Christian cities in Spain, Southern France, and Italy for purposes of trade with the Arabs. For an exhaustive treatise on the subject, see Blancard, Le Millares, 1876, and Engel and Serrure, Traite de numismatique du rnoyen age. 1897-99. (iii. 456).
