Umayyad Caliphate. 'Abd al-Malik (724-743 AD). Dirham (Silver, 29.1 mm, 2.97 g). Obv: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له / بسم الله ضرب هذا الدرهم بـ[دار الضرب] سنة [التاريخ]. “There is no god but Allah alone; He has no partner / In the name of Allah, this dirham was struck at [mint] in the year [date].” Rev: الله أحد الله الصمد لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد / محمد رسول الله أرسله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كره المشركون. “Allah is One, Allah is the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is begotten, and there is none comparable to Him / Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. He sent him with guidance and the true religion to make it prevail over all religions, even though the polytheists abhor it.” Reference: Album, Checklist of Islamic Coins, 137. Hisham ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ruled during the later Umayyad Caliphate, when the empire still stretched from Iberia to Central Asia. His reign combined administrative and fiscal consolidation with major frontier wars against Byzantium, the Khazars and in Central Asia. Despite relative stability, mounting military costs, tribal rivalries and regional unrest foreshadowed the weakening of Umayyad power after his death.
