Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and religious exchange between the Umayyad Caliphate and other regions, including Byzantium and Persia. This is reflected in the coin's design, which features both Islamic and pre-Islamic motifs, such as the use of Arabic script and the depiction of a fire altar. This blending of cultural influences is a testament to the diverse and cosmopolitan nature of the Umayyad Caliphate during this period.
