Interesting fact
The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Anonymous (Tawwaj) ND (698-750), 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 appointed as the governor of Syria by the fourth caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib. Muawiyah eventually declared himself caliph in 661 CE, establishing the Umayyad Caliphate, which lasted for nearly a century until it was overthrown by the Abbasid Caliphate in 750 CE.
