Note: Coins of this type were minted to maintain continuity in the region’s monetary system while asserting Arab-Muslim authority. The Pseudo-Byzantine style was a deliberate choice to appeal to the local population and facilitate trade within the diverse cultural landscape of the Arab-Byzantine era. Dating from AH 11-55, this coin offers insights into the early interactions between the Arab conquerors and the Byzantine Empire’s administrative and monetary systems. Its historical significance lies in its representation of the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time, as well as its role in shaping the evolving identity of Islamic coinage.
