Umayyad Coins from Judaea and Samaria

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses 131 Umayyad coins — two silver dirhams, 128 bronze fulūs and one lead piece. They were all found in controlled surveys and excavations conducted at various sites in Judea and Samaria; a number of coins from the Gaza Strip are included as well. Apart from the catalogue, numismatic observations on the coins are presented, as is a hitherto unknown lead fals, presumably from Ba‘albak.
