Interesting fact
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 spread Islamic rule across a vast territory that included much of the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Asia. The coinage of the Umayyad Caliphate, such as the Fals coin , was an important tool for promoting the caliphate's ideology and solidifying its control over its territories.
