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 introduce a new standardized coinage system, which replaced the previous Byzantine-style coins. This coin, the Fals, was a part of that new system and was used widely throughout the Umayyad Empire.
