Note: The Umayyad Caliphate, particularly during the reign of al-Walid I, was a significant period in Islamic history, marked by expansion, consolidation of power, and cultural achievements. Al-Walid I (ruled AD 705ā€“715) was the sixth caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate. He is remembered for his military conquests, which expanded the empire to its greatest territorial extent. Under his rule, the caliphate reached its zenith in terms of geographical expansion, stretching from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to Central Asia in the east. The city of Wasit, mentioned in your description as the mint location, was an important administrative and military center during the Umayyad period. Located in present-day Iraq, Wasit played a crucial role in governing the newly conquered territories and served as a strategic hub for trade and communication.
