| Beschrijving voorzijde | Epigraphic field bearing the Islamic shahada in Kufic Arabic script, arranged across multiple lines within a plain circular border. The legend reads the first part of the profession of faith: 'There is no God but Allah alone.' The die-struck lettering is characteristic of early Umayyad aniconic coinage reform, with angular Kufic strokes typical of late 7th to mid-8th century minting practice. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination with reddish copper exposed through dark oxidation. |

The anonymous copper fals presents one of Islamic numismatics' more persistent attribution puzzles — no caliph claimed these pieces, and mint signatures are frequently absent or ambiguous. They circulated in the decades following Abd al-Malik's sweeping monetary reforms of 696–697, which abolished figural imagery and standardized the epigraphic coinage in silver and gold, but left the copper fraction largely to provincial initiative. Local administrators struck fals with varying weight standards and formulae, producing a fragmented, almost decentralized small-change economy across Syria, Iraq, and Egypt simultaneously.
