Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Janza, 94 AH) – Reign of al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>Ganza lies in the province of Arran, in the South Caucasus, the same distant frontier region whose mint activity we documented in 90 AH.</p><p>This dirham was struck in 94 AH from a Caucasian city far from traditional centers of power, under Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik.</p><p>It highlights the far reach of administrative and monetary influence, with mints operating at the mountain frontier to secure legitimate currency for armies and local populations alike.</p>
