ARAB BYZANTINE: 'Abd Al-Malik (685-705), AE Fals (3.41g), Halab (Aleppo), AH 74-78. Caliph standing
ARAB BYZANTINE: 'Abd Al-Malik (685-705), AE Fals (3.41g), Halab (Aleppo), AH 74-78. Caliph standing facing front, left hand on sheathed sword, citing caliph 'Abd Al-Malik in margin, reverse transformed cross on steps, mint name to left, "waf" (adequate, meaning good for full payment) to right. A-3529. Very fine.

There are two main varities of Halab falus of the Standing Caliph series, one where the mint name appears to the right of the transformed cross, and one where it appears to the left. Both seem to be of similar rarity.
