Abstract

During the excavations in the archaeological site of Besgastri (Cehegín, Murcia) some metallic remains were discovered inside a ceramic vessel. This small treasure, dated to the 11 th century, consists of a few pieces of jewelry and 237 silver coins, many of these being small fragmented pieces. Most of the coins are North African, produced by the Fatimids, the enemy dynasty of the Spanish Umayyads. This archaeological find from Begastri is at the moment the biggest hidden Fatimid silver hoard found in Sarq al-Andalus.
