| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered copper flan of irregular outline, heavily patinated with dark olive-brown and black corrosion. The obverse field bears an indistinct central device — likely a schematic representation of a standing figure or symbolic motif derived from earlier Byzantine or Sasanian prototypes — surrounded by traces of an Arabic marginal legend. The overall style is characteristic of early Umayyad provincial bronze coinage, executed with minimal artistic refinement. The surface exhibits significant encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Jund al-Urdunn — the military district of Jordan — was one of the four administrative divisions the Umayyads carved out of greater Syria, and its anonymous copper fals circulated at the lowest functional level of a monetary system deliberately tiered to keep gold and silver out of everyday transactions. These anonymous provincial issues were produced without caliph names precisely because the Umayyad reform coinage of 696–698 under Abd al-Malik had standardized the upper denominations; copper was left to local mints with far looser oversight.
Album 166 encompasses considerable variation in fabric and weight across known specimens, reflecting decentralized striking rather than any single controlled mint output.
