Note:  The Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled from 661 to 750 AD, was the first Islamic dynasty to govern the vast territories of the Muslim world. Baysan, also known as Beit She’an, was an important city in the Umayyad Caliphate located in Plaestine, its inclusion on the coin indicates that it was likely minted there or circulated widely in the region. Overall, the coinage of the Umayyad Caliphate during this period reflects the caliphate’s efforts to maintain stability and standardization in its currency, even amidst political and administrative changes.
