My mind is really reading "tritium" instead of something like "re" with that h3reg in the middle.
Also interesting to note: the word "rial" in arabic, also used to denote currency, descends from the portuguese/spanish real
It's from a later period, as al-andalus was a name mostly used during the islamic conquest in the 8th century, right? The first real coins are from 14th century Spain, while the peninsula was still divided between the northern christians and southern muslims
