Note: It seems that a similar coin to the one offered here is mentioned in “The Nani Collection of Arabic Coins,” page 364. Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ruled as the Umayyad Caliph from 724 to 743 AD. 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.
