UMAYYAD: Hisham, 724-743, AV dinar (3.85g), NM, AH124, A-136, contemporary imitation, VF to EF, R. Contemporary imitations of Umayyad dinars are well-known, and are found in many areas - official dinars also circulated widely. The source of production is contested by modern scholars, though the most likely source seems to be the frontier areas between Umayyad and Byzantine territories. The calligraphy of this example has many misspellings and incorrectly engraved letters, as one would expect on an imitation made from dies cut by an engraver unfamiliar with the Arabic script.
