After a century of incredible success expanding the Caliphate by Mohammad, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the subsequent Umayyads, the spread of Islam into Europe was thwarted by Charles "The Hammer" Martel at the Battle of Tours in the south of France. The Franks won the battle despite not having calvary. Historians describe Tours as "the turning point of one of the most important epochs in the history of the world." Contains a copper fals of the Umayyad Caliphate.
