Some argue that the Muslims didn&#039;t strike coins in the former Byzantine domains until the reign of &#039;Abd al-Malik - almost half a century after they conquered the land. Others argue that the Muslims started striking coinage in the area almost immediately as they did in the former Sasanian realms. Most agree now that the truth must lie somewhere in between these two views, with a consensus that the coinage of the era is very complex and needs much more research.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
