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 diverse coins that were in circulation during the early years of Islam. This coin, the Fals, was one of the denominations introduced by Abd al-Malik and it remained in circulation for over a century, indicating its popularity and widespread use in trade and commerce.
