Note: Marwan II ibn Muhammad was the last Umayyad caliph, ruling from 744 to 750. His reign was marked by internal unrest and external threats, including the Abbasid Revolution that ultimately led to the downfall of the Umayyad Caliphate. The depiction of an elephant on the coin is significant as it represents the symbolism and imagery commonly found on Umayyad coinage. The elephant motif was often associated with military strength and power, reflecting the caliphate’s efforts to project authority and dominance.
