Fals - Anonymous al-Mawsil

Anonymous copper fulus from al-Mawsil (Mosul) occupy a genuinely awkward position in Umayyad monetary history. The caliphate's great reform of 696–698 under Abd al-Malik standardized gold and silver coinage into fully epigraphic, aniconic types — but copper was effectively left unregulated, struck by local authorities without central oversight. Mosul, founded as a garrison city on the Tigris opposite ancient Nineveh, became one of the more prolific producers of these unofficial small-change pieces.

No mint master signed them. No caliph claimed them.
