One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Umayyad Caliphate, which was the second Islamic caliphate and lasted from 661 to 750 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its expansion and consolidation of Islamic rule, and the issuance of coins like this one helped to facilitate trade and commerce throughout the empire.
