Note: Al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik was the sixth Umayyad caliph. His reign was marked by expansion and prosperity, as well as notable architectural projects, including the construction of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. The Wasit Mint, located in present-day Iraq, was one of the prominent mints of the Umayyad Caliphate. Coins minted there were widely circulated throughout the caliphate’s territories.
