Rare Umayyad Dinar (Minted in 111 AH) — Reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>In the midpoint of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik''s reign — the last guardian of the first Umayyad dream — this gold dinar was minted. At this stage, the state still maintained its pure gold and unified monetary system, yet this coin carries a faint nostalgia for the golden age of conquest under al-Walid.</p><p>This piece reflects Hisham''s philosophy of organizational excellence; it is a witness to the peak of monetary regulation, but also a signal of the beginning of the end, as the winds of chaos prepared to sweep away the Umayyad era.</p>
