The emirate of Cordoba (Spain) was founded by the Umayyads in 132 AH (750 CE) and became a caliphate in 316 AH (929 CE). The Umayyad caliphate of Spain collapsed in 403 AH (1013 CE). As a general rule, Umayyad copper Fals are less understood than their silver Dirham counterparts, since they were essentially a local civic coinage struck under several governors and local officials with very few, if any, struck by order of the Caliphs. As such, their motifs, size, weights and overall designs were among the most varied in the Islamic series.
