Interesting fact
The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued this coin, was the first Islamic empire, established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The Caliphate was known for its expansionist policies, and during its reign, it spread Islam across a vast territory that included much of the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Asia. The Dirham coin was an important part of the Caliphate's economy and was used extensively for trade and commerce.
