Umayyad Caliphate AV Solidus - Time of al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik - Spanish mint.
H SLD FRT IN SPN ANNXCII [ Hic Solidus Feritus IN Spania Anno XCII ] IND CIX
This is earliest Islamic issue struck in Spain, produced in the same year as the invasion of the Visigothic Kingdom. Encouraged by the governor Musa Ibn Nusayr, who had pacified the Berbers in 708, the Moorish leader, chief Tariq invaded the Iberian peninsula, landing near Gibraltar [the mount of Tariq, Gibraltar] and at the Battle of Guadalete decisively defeated Roderic, the last Visigothic king of Spain. Musa, learning of Tariq's successes, landed with a further army of 18,000 Berbers and Arabs and together Musa and Tariq completed the conquest of the peninsula. This coin clearly displays the indiction year IX, being the earliest known for this series; the date is further given as the Hijra year XCII across the obverse in Latin numerals [AD711], making this the earliest known Spanish Umayyad coin, struck in the first year of Muslim influence, soon after Musa Ibn Nusayr had arrived in Spain.
