EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Islamic coin dating back to AD 696/7. Crafted from pure gold, this small yet significant artifact measures a mere 2x2 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. The coin bears immense historical value as it represents the reign of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, the fifth Caliph of the Umayyad dynasty. Ruling from 685 until his death in 705, Abd al-Malik played a crucial role in shaping Islamic history during that era. The intricate design on the reverse side of this coin reflects both artistic finesse and cultural symbolism. As an important piece within numismatics, it serves not only as a form of currency but also as a tangible representation of Islamic heritage. With its rich golden hue and meticulous craftsmanship, this Islamic coin offers us a glimpse into ancient times when trade and commerce thrived under the rule of powerful dynasties. Preserved for centuries, its presence within the Ashmolean Museum allows visitors to connect with history on a personal level. As we admire this remarkable artifact captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate its significance not just as an object but also as a testament to human ingenuity and our collective journey through time.
