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 and lasted from 661 to 750 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its significant cultural and artistic achievements, and this coin is a reflection of that, with its intricate design and craftsmanship.
