Umayyad Dirham (Minted in Sijistan 130 AH) Reign of Marwan bin Muhammad
From the far East, from "Sijistan," comes this dirham in 130 AH, as Abbasid armies swept through Khurasan. Distinguished by a different minting die, this dirham represents the final gasp of Umayyad authority in the East. It serves as a living witness to the collapse of provinces one after another, falling into the hands of the revolutionaries.<!-- notionvc: 1bea5cd3-8133-4c63-80bc-60e425b306d9 -->
