Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a palm tree on the reverse side, which was a common motif in Umayyad art and architecture. This coin was issued during the reign of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was the first Islamic caliphate, established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its cultural and artistic achievements, and this coin is a reflection of that.
