Interesting fact

The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued this coin, was the first Islamic caliphate, established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. It was founded by Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan, who was a companion of the Prophet and a skilled military leader. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its centralized administration, military conquests, and cultural achievements, including the development of Arabic as a written language.
