Note: During the reign of al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik in the Umayyad Caliphate, which lasted from AD 705 to 715, the Islamic world witnessed significant expansion, cultural advancement, and economic prosperity. Al-Walid I was the sixth caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate and is remembered for his military campaigns that expanded the empire to its greatest territorial extent. The city of al-Taymara, where the coin was minted, was an important administrative and economic center during the Umayyad period. While not as well-known as some other cities, al-Taymara likely played a significant role in supporting the caliphate’s economic activities and trade networks.
