Umayyad Dinar (Minted in 126 AH) – Reign of Yazid ibn al-Walid

The reign of Yazid ibn al-Walid, as the Encyclopedia presents it, covers a single year, 126 AH, and this dinar was struck in it. The declaration of faith and the date of minting appear as they did on the dinars of his predecessors, forty-nine years after Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan's monetary reform. The Umayyad Encyclopedia lists six coins for his reign, from five mints.
