Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (685-705 CE), who was the first Umayyad caliph to mint coins with a standardized design and inscription, which helped to establish a unified currency system across the vast Islamic empire.
