Pashiz / Fals - Aban b. al-Walid Arab-Sasanian

Aban b. al-Walid governed in the east during the turbulent final collapse of Umayyad authority, and copper issues attributed to him sit at an awkward transitional moment — Arab-Sasanian coinage was already an anachronism by the 750s, with fully Arabicized reformed coinage having been standard for decades. That this type was struck at all suggests either local administrative inertia or a deliberate accommodation of regional market expectations in areas where Sasanian monetary forms still circulated by habit.

At under a gram, this is among the lightest examples in the Arab-Sasanian copper sequence.
