| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a stylized standing figure or architectural motif rendered in Kufic-influenced relief, surrounded by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal bands within a plain linear border. The inscription occupies the majority of the flan, with a small ornamental device visible below the central motif. The overall composition is characteristic of early Umayyad-era provincial copper coinage, with bold, angular lettering typical of mid-8th century Jazira mint production. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-hammered striking technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zuhayr b. 'Alqama served as governor of Mosul under the late Umayyad administration, and this fals belongs to the chaotic final decade of Umayyad rule — a period when provincial copper coinage was issued with considerable administrative independence. By 745, the Abbasid revolt was already gathering momentum in Khurasan, and governors across the eastern provinces were operating with diminishing central oversight from Damascus.
Album 193 encompasses a narrow window of provincial Umayyad copper. Attribution to specific governors at Mosul for this period relies heavily on die study work done in the late twentieth century.
