Fals - Anonymous

Beschrijving voorzijde	Central field occupied by the first part of the Shahada (kalima) in Arabic Kufic script, reading 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah). A small decorative star or pellet is positioned within the word 'Allah', serving as a distinguishing mint or die mark. The inscription fills the flan with bold, angular Kufic letterforms characteristic of early Umayyad copper coinage, with no figural imagery present.

Aanvullende informatie	The anonymous copper fals of this period predates the sweeping monetary reforms of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, who between 696 and 698 AD replaced the Byzantine- and Sasanian-derived coinage with a purely epigraphic Islamic currency. Issues struck before that reform often circulated alongside — and were sometimes overstruck on — Byzantine folles and Sasanian drachms, making their precise attribution a persistent challenge for specialists. Mitchiner's classification acknowledges the ambiguity; WI#65 groups pieces that cannot be assigned to a specific mint with confidence.
