| Reversbeschreibung | Central fire altar with two attendant figures standing on either side in the Sasanian tradition, depicted in stylized form. The altar is rendered with characteristic stepped base and flame rising from the top. Three crescents appear in the outer field at the cardinal positions. The surrounding border consists of multiple concentric ring patterns, and marginal legends in Arabic script provide the mint and date information consistent with Arab-Sasanian coinage of the Umayyad period. |

Arab-Sasanian coinage emerged from a practical problem: the early Islamic conquerors lacked a mint infrastructure capable of replacing the Sasanian silver currency already circulating across Iran and Iraq. Rather than disrupt trade, governors simply continued striking near-identical imitations, adding Arabic religious phrases in the margins. 'Amr b. Laqit is among the more obscure governors attested only through his coinage — the coins themselves constitute the primary historical record of his authority.
By 701-702, full Arabization of the coinage was imminent. Abd al-Malik's reformed dirham would render these transitional types obsolete within a few years.
