Overview:
Umayyad bronze fals of the undated and mintless reform series. The coin features early Kufic inscriptions arranged in the standard epigraphic format characteristic of 8th century Umayyad bronze coinage.

Mintless and undated fals were produced at multiple regional mints and circulated widely across Umayyad territories. These pieces represent the fully Islamic reform coinage following the transition from earlier Byzantine-influenced types.

At 22 mm and 3.39 grams, this is a solid example with typical fabric and proportions for the series.

Authenticity Check:
Natural patina consistent with early Islamic bronze. Correct hand-struck fabric and epigraphic style. No signs of casting or modern tooling.
