Umayyad Dinar (Minted in 87 AH) – Reign of al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>This dinar bears only the twin declarations of faith and the year, following the rule set since the reform of 77 AH: gold belonging to no single city, but to the state itself.</p><p>Convention attributes it to Damascus as the central mint, under Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik, who upheld this unified system across the expanding caliphate.</p><p>It reflects the philosophy of Umayyad sovereignty: a pure Islamic creed as sole currency emblem, freed from royal imagery, carrying stability across every market it reached.</p>
