Abstract

This article examines the economic activity in the Maghreb during the Marinid period (668-869 AH/1269-1456 AD), shedding light on the most important pillar of the economy, namely currency (money), as it is considered a manifestation of political authority in addition to being official documents that cannot be challenged, and an important source of history that helps in deducing historical facts, in addition to being a mirror reflecting its era, as it is, with all its minting methods, metal, and shape, in addition to the various inscriptions and writings with which it is decorated, considered a speaking tongue expressing a lived reality in all its political, economic, social, and religious aspects.

 Accordingly, in this research, we will study and analyze the inscriptions engraved on the Marinid coins, trying to reach the dimensions of what is engraved on them, and linking them to various aspects of life, especially religious, political, and social.
