Note: During the early post-reform period of the Umayyad Caliphate, efforts were made to standardize and improve the quality of coinage. Coins from this era typically featured Arabic inscriptions denoting the caliph’s name, mint location, and sometimes the date of minting. The Dimashq Mint, located in the city of Damascus, was one of the principal mints of the Umayyad Caliphate. Coins minted there were circulated widely within the caliphate’s territories and beyond.
