Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Damascus, 112 AH) – Reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>While distant mints such as White Balkh and Ifriqiya struck local coinage in the same period, Damascus continued as the fixed central reference, unaffected by the great distances separating it from those provinces.</p><p>Struck at the same central mint in 112 AH, this dirham shows the capital as the point of stability in a wide network of mints that varied in activity and rarity, in Hisham's reign.</p>
