Umayyad, temp. Marwan II (AH 127‑132 / 744‑750 AD), gold Dinar, AH 132 / 749/50 AD, uncertain mint, 4.24g (A. 141; ICV 226). Very Fine, slight corrosion to surfaces, some dents to the edge. The last Umayyad caliph, Marwan II ibn Muhammad, faced a considerably larger Abbasid army in the Battle of the Zab and was defeated, which brought the Umayyad Caliphate to an end. The present coin is the last Umayyad dinar: it was struck was just months before Marwan’s defeat and is of great rarity.
