Interesting fact
The Umayyad rebels, who issued this coin, were a group of dissidents who opposed the rule of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The rebels sought to overthrow the Umayyad Caliphate and establish a new, more just government. Despite their efforts, the rebellion ultimately failed, and the Umayyad Caliphate continued to rule for several more centuries. This coin serves as a reminder of the political turmoil and dissent that existed during this time period in Islamic history.
