Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Anonymous (Tabariya) ND (696-750) from Umayyad Caliphate made of Copper 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 a tree, which is a motif that was commonly used in pre-Islamic Persian coinage. This blending of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Umayyad Caliphate, which spanned across multiple regions and civilizations.
