Note:Ā  Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik was the tenth Umayyad caliph. His reign is characterized by relative peace and prosperity, marked by further expansion of the empire and significant cultural achievements. Hisham is particularly remembered for his patronage of architecture, poetry, and scholarship. The city of Wasit, where the coin was minted, was an important administrative and commercial center during the Umayyad period. Located in present-day Iraq, Wasit served as a hub for trade and communication, contributing to the economic prosperity of the caliphate. Coins from the Umayyad Caliphate, minted during the reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik in Wasit, provides valuable insight into the economic and cultural landscape of this period in Islamic history.
