Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Anonymous (Damascus) ND (696-750) from Umayyad Caliphate made of Copper weighing 1.5 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a rendition of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian II, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" and "Umayyad Caliphate" in Kufic script. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was known for its tolerance and acceptance of diverse cultures and religions.
