Umayyad Dinar (Minted in 89 AH) – Reign of al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>Struck in a year of continued expansion for the caliphate, this dinar kept its unified design, making Umayyad gold a constant symbol unmoved by shifting frontiers.</p><p>It carries forward Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan's monetary project into Al-Walid's reign, a design held steady for over a decade since the reform of 77 AH.</p><p>The coin reflects the strength of the Umayyad economy and its capacity to fund the great conquests and architecture of Al-Walid's era, resting on a gold standard that never wavered.</p>
