Note: The scarcity of Umayyad Caliphate coins minted under Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan at the Qinnasrin Mint can be attributed to limited production due to challenges in resources and administrative organization, compounded by historical instability and the ravages of time on ancient coins. These factors, along with high collector interest, contribute to the rarity and desirability of such coins among numismatists and historians.
