Medieval "Battle of Tours" Coin of the Umayyad Caliphate - Certified Authentic

Description

After a century of incredible success expanding the Caliphate by Mohammad, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the subsequent Umayyads, the spread of Islam into Europe was thwarted by Charles "The Hammer" Martel in AD 732 at the Battle of Tours, in the south of France. The Franks won the battle despite not having calvary. Historians describe Tours as “the turning point of one of the most important epochs in the history of the world." CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY This copper fals was issued by the Umayyad Caliphate from 661-750. Because of the Islamic prohibition on graven images, there is no portrait, but ornate Arabic script indicating family names and titles. This piece is certified authentic by the ANACS.
