Note: During the Umayyad Caliphate, Damascus was a significant center for coin production, and Dimashq Fals coins were widely circulated. The unusually small size of this coin may suggest variations in minting practices or the availability of resources during the period of its production. This coin provides valuable insights into the economic and political landscape of the Umayyad Caliphate during the post-reform period.
