Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Ramhormuz, 91 AH) – Reign of al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>Ancient Persian sources trace the founding of Ram Hormoz to Hormizd I, who built the city in the mountains of Khuzestan and gave it his name.</p><p>This dirham documents the mint's continued activity under Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik, keeping the old Sasanian royal name alive on a metal bearing the Islamic declaration of faith.</p><p>It is a unique blend of enduring ancient names and sweeping monetary renewal, where Sasanian geographic legacy merged with pure Islamic style in a finely struck silver piece.</p>
