Note: During the transition from Arab-Byzantine to Islamic coinage under the Umayyad Caliphate, coins minted under Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan at the Hums Mint, represent a pioneering fusion of cultural and numismatic influences. The strategic location of Hums in the Levant facilitated trade routes and cultural exchanges, resulting in coins that bear both Arabic and Byzantine motifs, symbolizing the evolving identity of the Islamic state. This period witnessed innovations in coin design and production techniques, as the Umayyads asserted their authority through a standardized currency system. Coins from the Hums Mint serve as tangible artifacts of this transformative era, reflecting the dynamic interplay between politics, culture, and numismatics in the early Islamic world.
