Emperor standing facing, holding globus cruciger and cross-tipped staff / Large M surrounded by degraded inscriptions. 20mmx23mm, 1.93 grams.These coins are the earliest coins of the first Islamic Caliphate - after conquering the Byzantine Middle East, they issued coins in the corrupted style of Byzantine folli (especially of Constans II). These circulates for about a few decades, until the end of the 7th century. This is a nice crude and interesting piece.
