Extremely Rare Umayyad Dinar (Minted in Ifriqiya 114 AH) — Reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>In 114 AH, the name Ifriqiya was etched in gold once more, but this time with a faint echo. After a decade-long absence from the mints, this rare dinar broke the silence. Once the gateway to conquest and the launchpad for armies into Europe, Ifriqiya was now struggling to prove its existence through a solitary dinar appearing once every decade.</p><p>It was the price of strict centralization; as Damascus tightened its grip on gold, the powerful provinces were pushed toward the periphery. This dinar was a silent cry for help from a great province nearly forgotten.</p>
