Jayy mint worked under the Umayyads until 102 AH. Its dirhams appeared again in 127 AH. This dirham bears the verse from Surat al-Shura: "Say, I ask of you no reward for it except love for my kinsfolk." It is among the dirhams struck by those who rose against the state between 127 and 130 AH. According to the Umayyad Encyclopedia, the mint had struck sixteen times before, and twenty times in all with the rebels' years 127 to 130 AH.
