Note: This AR Dirham was minted during the reign of Al-Hakam I, the Umayyad ruler of al-Andalus (Islamic Spain). The Emirate of Cordova, where this coin was struck, was a center of Islamic civilization renowned for its cultural, scientific, and architectural achievements. Al-Hakam I’s reign saw the consolidation of Umayyad power in al-Andalus and the flourishing of Islamic culture. Coins from this period provide valuable insights into the history and heritage of Islamic Spain, reflecting the diversity and richness of its civilization.
