Note: During the Post-Reform period of the Umayyad Caliphate, there was a continuation of the standardization of coinage following the reforms initiated by Caliph Abd al-Malik. The “Pomegranate Type” refers to a particular design motif found on Umayyad coins, where the central element resembles a pomegranate fruit. This motif may have symbolic significance, although its exact meaning is subject to interpretation. Coins from this period provide valuable insights into the economic, cultural, and political landscape of the Umayyad Caliphate during the 8th century. They serve as tangible artifacts, reflecting the numismatic practices and artistic influences of the time.
