Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Anonymous ND (696-750) from Umayyad Caliphate made of Copper weighing 1.3 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the caliph, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic elements reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Umayyad Caliphate during its time.
