‘Fil’ is another enigmatic Umayyad mint which has yet to be read or located. The mint-name resembles the Arabic word fil, meaning ‘elephant’, and in the absence of any other identification has been given this name for convenience. There was a place named Fil in Khwarezm, but this had yet to be conquered by the Muslims at the time these early dirhams were struck. The first letter could be read as ‘q’ or ‘f’, and the second letter could be any of ‘b’, ‘t’, ‘th’, ‘n’ or ‘i’.

PYL/FYL is known as an Arab-Sasanian mint-signature, known from some rare coins of al-Hakam b. Abi al-‘As. Al-Hakam was ruling in Kirman, so if PYL and Fil do indeed denote the same place, a location in Kirman would seem likely.
