Note: The Umayyad Caliphate, during the reign of al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik, was a period of significant expansion, cultural flourishing, and economic prosperity. Al-Walid I, was the sixth caliph of the Umayyad dynasty and is known for his military campaigns that extended the empire’s territories to their greatest extent. The city of Darabjird (also known as Darabgird), where the coin was minted, was an important urban center during the Umayyad period. Located in present-day Iran, Darabjird served as a strategic point along trade routes and likely played a role in supporting the caliphate’s economic activities in the region.
