Note: Halab (modern-day Aleppo) served as a nexus of trade and cultural exchange, reflecting a rich blend of Arab and Byzantine influences. Under the Umayyad Caliphate, coins from the Halab Mint bore witness to the transition from Arab-Byzantine to distinctly Islamic numismatic traditions. These coins not only symbolized the consolidation of Umayyad power but also showcased innovative design elements that heralded the dawn of a new era in Islamic coinage. Each AE Fals from the Halab Mint serves as a tangible reminder of the Umayyad Caliphate’s enduring legacy and its pivotal role in shaping the numismatic landscape of the Islamic world.
