Muhmadiyya

The Muhmadiyya, named after the emirate's leader, Emir Abd al-Qadir, served as the official currency during his rule. It was a silver coin, featuring inscriptions in Arabic, including references to Abd al-Qadir as the issuing authority. This coin was integral to the emirate's effort to establish an independent monetary system and assert its autonomy in the face of both Ottoman and French colonial influence.

The Emirate of Mascara and its Muhmadiyya coinage came to an end in 1847 when French colonial forces captured Emir Abd al-Qadir. This event marked the eventual incorporation of the region into French Algeria, concluding the brief era of the emirate's independence. The Muhmadiyya coinage stands as a historical artifact and a symbol of this transitional period in the region's history.
