Interesting fact
The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued this coin, was the first Islamic caliphate, and it was established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The caliphate was known for its expansionist policies, and it was during this time that Islam spread rapidly throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe. The Dirham coin was an important part of the caliphate's economy, and it was used for trade and commerce throughout the region.
