| Additional information |
Al-Ramla was founded around 716 AD by the Umayyad governor Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik specifically to serve as the administrative capital of Jund Filastin, displacing the older Byzantine center at Lydda. Anonymous copper fulus from this mint occupy an awkward documentary position — struck without caliph's name, they resist precise dating within the Umayyad period and are attributed largely by mint name and typological comparison rather than historical record. The BMC Walker reference places this piece within a broad series issued across Syrian and Palestinian mints as local small-change, circulating well below the silver and gold denominations that dominate the written sources.
