The Umayyad Caliphate, which issued this coin, was the first Islamic caliphate, established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The caliphate was known for its expansionist policies, and during its reign, it conquered a vast portion of the known world, stretching from Spain to India. The coinage of the Umayyad Caliphate, including the Fals coin , was an important tool for facilitating trade and commerce within the empire.
