His reign is remembered for its military successes, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts and architecture. The Wasit Mint, located in present-day Iraq, was one of the major mints of the Umayyad Caliphate. Coins minted there were highly esteemed for their quality and were widely circulated throughout the caliphate’s territories.
