„This remarkable type, struck during the key reform era of the Umayyad Caliphate, captures the shift from Byzantine imperial imagery to a distinctly Islamic visual language. Its standing caliph, still echoing late Roman and Byzantine portraiture, serves as a deliberate statement of emerging Islamic authority. Rare and much sought after, this Amman mint issue offers a vivid glimpse into the early caliphate's evolving identity and power.“
