Caliphate of Mu’awiyaMu’awiya (660 – 680 CE) Bilingual series, mint of Baalbek (Heliopolis). Fals, weight 3.29g, diameter 19mm.
Obverse: No legend. Two standing crowned figures with cross in field between their heads, each figure holding a sceptre, left hand figure also holds globus cruciger.
Reverse: Large M with cross above and ꓵ below; HΛIȢ to left and ΠΟΛЄ to right, in exergue ba’albak (in Arabic).
This is the unusual sub-variety with the design reversed (sceptres leaning to right and with the left-hand figure holding the globus cruciger). There are four examples illustrated in Goodwin’s die study of the Baalbek coinage (Goodwin [2005], chapter 2) all using the same obverse die, which this specimen also shares.

Follis (Fals)Pseudo-Byzantine Syrian Arabic, imitating the Cypriot folles of Heraclius (Sear 849); weight 3.99g, diameter 25x20mm.
Obverse: No legend. Three standing crowned imperial figures, each holding long cross in right hand.
Reverse: Large M, cross above, Γ below; to left, garbled, perhaps [?] | retrograde-N | I I I | A; to right, illegible symbols; in exergue, possibly C[ΠΡ].
Official folles from the Cyprus mint were struck during the years 626/9 (= regnal years 17 to 19) and were introduced into the Levant following the Byzantine reoccupation of Syria from the Persians in 629. These imitatives were among the first coins struck after the Arab conquest in 636, and production may have continued into the mid-640s. On this specimen it seems that the central imperial figure has the long beard and moustache portrait type, which was only introduced in Heraclius’ regnal year 20, cf. DOC II(1) Heraclius 184a.3

Umayyad AE FalsUmayyad AE Fals
Ruler: Anonymous
Mint: Hims (Emesa)
Date: ca. 50AH to 70AH/670AD to 690AD
Weight: 3.9g
Size: 20.5 mm
Comments: These coins are always labelled Arab-Byzantine. But these coins are Umayyad coins. The same with Arab-Sassanian, Arab-Armanian etc. This coin is common, but it is probably one of the best kinds world wide. The usual ones are often chipped, broken, cut, bent or totally worn. This one has survived very well and can now be displayed here. I bought this coin for resale a while ago, now I cannot let go of it. Greek, Roman and Arabic incriptions are presented on the coin which show the mint if Hims.
