Sarmin, located in present-day Syria, was an important minting center during the Umayyad period. Their widespread acceptance and adoption laid the foundation for the development of sophisticated monetary systems in subsequent Islamic civilizations.. Collectors value them for their historical significance, providing insights into the economic and political landscape of the Umayyad era.
