Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the reign of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was the first Islamic caliphate and lasted from 632 to 750 CE. The coin features an inscription with the name of the caliph, which suggests that it was issued during a time of Islamic rule in the region. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the history of currency and trade in the ancient Islamic world.
