I am offering the Ancient Byzantine early Arab Byzantine type of issue, with star as a countermark. ARAB BYZANTINE 7c. AD. Umayyad Arab-Byzantine bronze follis / Fals Islamic.

AD comes from Latin Anno Domini meaning "In the year of Our Lord".

The Arab–Byzantine Wars were a series of wars between the mostly Arab Muslims and the East Roman or Byzantine Empire between the 7th and 11th centuries AD. These started during the initial Muslim conquests under the expansionist Rashidun and Umayyad caliphs in the 7th century and continued by their successors until the mid-11th century.

OBVERSE: Standing caliph facing.

REVERSE: Large m (lower case), star as a countermark mintmark.

Measurement: 23 mm X 17 mm 15/16” X 11/16” in diameter.

Weight: 2.4 grams.

Condition: F-VF. See photos.

Authenticity Guaranteed.

As a coin collector I DO NOT clean any of my coins to preserve the original patina, if you wish to clean the coin/s I will leave it up to you.

The coin you see in the photo is the coin you get.

Fantastic for your jewelry, craft projects, Steampunk, collage art projects or just a great addition to your ANCIENT coins collection.
