Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two standing figures, which is a unique design element for coins of the Umayyad Caliphate. The figures are believed to represent the Byzantine Emperor and the Umayyad Caliph, symbolizing the political and cultural exchange between the two empires during that time.
