Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Sijistan, 130 AH) – Reign of Marwan ibn Muhammad
From the far East, from "Sijistan," comes this dirham in 130 AH, as Abbasid armies swept through Khurasan. Distinguished by a different minting die, this dirham represents the final gasp of Umayyad authority in the East. It serves as a living witness to the collapse of provinces one after another, falling into the hands of the revolutionaries.<!-- notionvc: 1bea5cd3-8133-4c63-80bc-60e425b306d9 -->
