Note: Yazid II was the Umayyad Caliph who ruled during the early 8th century AD. His reign marked a significant period within the Umayyad Caliphate. As for the coin you mentioned, the AV Dinar (gold coin) minted during his reign would have been a symbol of his authority and the economic stability of the empire. Damascus (Dimashq) was a flourishing city and served as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate. It was one of the most significant cultural, political, and economic centers of the Islamic world.
