Keywords: Early Islamic period, numismatics
The excavation at Ramla yielded 39 coins, 19 of which were identified. More than half of the coins were dated to the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. Two silver fractions minted during the Fatimid period are noteworthy, attesting that the circulation of fractional silver and billon was more widespread than previously thought. Three Mamluk-period copper coins were also found.
