Note: During the Early Post-Reform period of the Umayyad Caliphate, there was a standardization of coinage following reforms initiated by Caliph Abd al-Malik. The absence of a mint designation on this coin suggests that it was part of a centralized coinage system where the location of minting was not specified on the coin itself. Such coins were circulated widely across the Umayyad territories and beyond, facilitating trade and commerce. his coin serves as an important historical artifact, reflecting the economic and political stability of the Umayyad Caliphate during this period.Ā  Mint control mark were used by mints to identify the location or authority responsible for producing the coin. They can vary in form and placement but are typically found near or alongside the primary inscriptions on the coin.
