Note: This Fals reflects a time of administrative and monetary reforms within the Umayyad Caliphate aimed at stabilizing the economy. The absence of a date suggests a transitional phase in the minting process, possibly indicating a shift towards standardized coin production. Halab (Aleppo) served as a significant economic and cultural center during the Umayyad era, making coins from this mint particularly sought after by collectors for their historical value.
