Interesting fact
The Umayyad rebels, who issued this coin, were a group of supporters of the Umayyad caliphate who opposed the Abbasid caliphate that had recently come to power. The coin's issuance was a way for them to assert their allegiance to the Umayyad cause and to distinguish themselves from the ruling Abbasid dynasty.
