Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was the first Islamic caliphate established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its expansionist policies and its administration of a large and diverse territory that stretched from Spain to India. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighed 2.70 grams suggests that it was a widely used and circulated coin during its time.
