Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Umayyad Caliphate, specifically during the reign of Abd al-Rahman I, who was the founder of the Umayyad dynasty in Spain. The coin's minting was likely a way for Abu Muslim's Partisans, who were Umayyad rebels, to assert their authority and independence from the central government. Despite the coin's small denomination, it is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the political and economic conditions of the time.
