Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Al-Dasakir 87 AH) Reign of Al-Walid bin Abd al-Malik
This dirham inaugurates the reign of Caliph Al-Walid bin Abd al-Malik, the era of construction and grand conquests. Minted in "Al-Dasakir" in Iraq in 87 AH, a town famous for its palaces and orchards, the piece reflects the state of economic prosperity that began to pervade the realm. People turned towards architecture and agriculture, and these dirhams were the medium that built palaces and funded harvest seasons in the Sawad region.<!-- notionvc: 7141728d-fa66-489e-a68e-b5eedc9e75fb -->
