<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2981877, member: 38412&quot;]I&#039;ve seen Arab Byzantine coins but not like this one. It has no Latin letters at all. The name of the Caliph is clear on the obverse. I can read &quot;In the name of Allah, Abdul Malek, the prince of believers&quot;. This Calif is known to have issued the first Islamic coin in History. The reverse has 3 steps and it seems to read Damascus (Dimashq) on the right field. The coin weighs 4.30 g. Can I assume that it&#039;s an Umayyad coin of the first to have ever been issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]733811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]733812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
