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 and often worn-out coins that were previously used. This coin, the Fals, was one of the new denominations introduced by Abd al-Malik and was widely used throughout the Umayyad Caliphate.
