ARAB-BYZANTINE: Standing Caliph, ca. 690s, AE fals (2.65g), Iliya (Jerusalem), A-3545, excellent strike with no weakness, choice Very Fine, RRR, from an American collection. Obverse legend severely blundered, reverse legend retrograde but legible. This piece seems to be either a contemporary unofficial imitation or an official issue struck from dies created by an illiterate engraver.
