His reign was characterized by relative stability and prosperity within the caliphate, marked by advancements in agriculture, trade, and culture. The specific mint where this coin was struck is unknown, as indicated in the description. During the Umayyad period, various mints operated across the caliphate’s vast territories, producing coins to facilitate trade and commerce. The AE Fals denomination was a common copper coin used in everyday transactions during the Umayyad era. It typically featured inscriptions denoting the caliph’s name, sometimes the mint location, and the date of minting.
