Interesting fact
The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued this coin, was the first Islamic caliphate, and it was established by Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan, the governor of Syria, after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its centralized administration and its efforts to establish a uniform currency system across its vast territories, which included the use of coins like the Dirham.
