Note: During the reign of al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik in the Umayyad Caliphate, the Islamic world experienced significant expansion, cultural flourishing, 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. Dimashq, also known as Damascus, was the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate during the reign of al-Walid I. As one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Damascus was a center of administration, trade, and culture. Its strategic location facilitated trade routes connecting the Mediterranean with the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. the coin from the Umayyad Caliphate, minted during the reign of al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik in Dimashq (Damascus), provides valuable historical and numismatic insights into the economic and cultural dynamics of this period in Islamic history.
