Rare. Struck in AH 114, this historic dirham dates to the pivotal year that Umayyad forces under 'Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi confronted the Frankish leader Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours. Known in Arabic history as Ma'rakat Balat al-Shuhada (The Battle of the Highway of Martyrs), it earned its name from the heavy casualties sustained by the Muslim army, including the martyrdom of al-Ghafiqi himself. This crucial engagement represents the absolute zenith of Islamic expansion into Western Europe, marking the farthest northern advance of the Umayyad Caliphate into northern Aquitaine in western France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuqud Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59892871233822,"sku":"3186","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/2229\/3278\/files\/3186_1.jpg?v=1788617513","url":"https:\/\/nuqudgallery.com\/products\/sku3186","provider":"Nuqud Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
