Mint: Emesa (Hims) Size: 23.1 mm Weight: 5.52 grams Following their invasions of the southeastern Roman Empire (640-660 CE), the Umayyads focused on consolidating control. While they and their successor caliphates would found a rich numismatic tradition of their own, during the mid-seventh century CE the Umayyads did not yet have an established coinage system. As a temporary measure, early Umayyad coins simply copied those of the region's prominent economic power: the Byzantine Romans. This coin is in great condition relative to what is typical of these types; and represents a very important period of history. Policies I apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
