Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Jur, 83 AH) – Reign of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan
This dirham was struck in the city of "Jur" (Firuzabad), famous for its circular urban planning centuries before Baghdad. Appearing in 83 AH, it tells the story of the full integration of Persian cities into the Islamic financial system. Jur was no longer merely a Sasanian relic but had become a financial center pumping silver dirhams into the treasury in Damascus, declaring its allegiance to Abd al-Malik bin Marwan.<!-- notionvc: 682faafa-624d-4ebc-9c2f-0876e30815e1 -->
