Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in the Umayyad Caliphate. The reign of Caliph Abd al-Malik (685-705 CE) saw the introduction of a new currency system, with the fals being one of the denominations introduced during this period. This coin was used extensively in trade and commerce throughout the Caliphate, which at its peak stretched from Spain to India. Despite being made of bronze, the coin was valued for its durability and portability, making it a popular choice for merchants and traders.
