Note: Sulayman ibn ‘Abd al-Malik was the ninth Umayyad caliph, known for his efforts to stabilize the Umayyad Caliphate after the tumultuous events of the Second Fitna. His reign saw attempts to restore order and prosperity to the empire, although challenges such as tribal revolts and internal unrest persisted. The coin reflects the political and economic importance of Dimashq as a minting center during the Umayyad period, providing valuable insight into the history of the era.
