Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, who was the fifth Umayyad caliph and ruled from 685 to 705 CE. He was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and his reign saw the introduction of a new currency system, with the fals being one of the coins minted during this time. The fals was a copper coin that was used widely throughout the Umayyad Caliphate, which at its peak spanned from Spain to India.
