Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Qumis, 95 AH) – Reign of al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik
<p>Qumis appears again with a new issue, this time considerably rarer than its previous issues of 92 and 93 AH.</p><p>This variance in rarity across the city's three issues offers rare comparative material for tracing its economic activity through consecutive years of Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik's reign.</p><p>This fluctuation in annual output reflects the shifting production and economic conditions of stations along the Khurasan road, and how minting volume varied with demand.</p>
