| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a central motif, possibly a cross on steps or a stylised symbol of pre-Islamic origin, adapted from Byzantine coinage conventions common in early Umayyad Egyptian issues. Surrounding the central device are traces of Arabic or pseudo-Arabic inscription, heavily worn and difficult to fully resolve. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, typical of hammered copper fulus produced at the mint of al-Fustat during the Umayyad period. The field shows significant surface corrosion consistent with burial or prolonged circulation. |

The anonymous copper fals of al-Fustat occupies an awkward transitional moment: Abd al-Malik's monetary reform of 696–698 standardized gold and silver coinage across the caliphate, but copper was left largely to provincial authorities, resulting in a sprawling, inconsistent output that numismatists still struggle to attribute with confidence. Al-Fustat, the garrison city founded after the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641, functioned as the administrative hub through which Egypt's considerable agricultural surplus flowed — its mint output reflects fiscal improvisation more than central planning.
