This research analyzes the earliest Caliph's administrative order, inscribed on a metal holder, issued by Caliph Mo'auya ibn Abu Sufian (41-59H/662-680M). Although it does not carry a specific date, it can be dated 44H/655M, the year in which Abdullah ibn Amer was removed from his state in Basra (41444h/663). This paper shows the importance of this inscription, including: submitting a written text inscribed on the metal containing an order issued by the fifth caliph, Mo'auya ibn Abu Sufian, in the light of what is known about the inscriptions published from the first century of Hijri and thus highlights its administrative importance. In addition, it represents the first residual trace associated with the seal office established by Caliph Mo'auya, where Caliph Mo'auya is known to have established two municipalities. One for the seal that are competent to document the State's offices and records and the other for the mail. This inscription reflects an image of the media documented by some orders that are important for information and publication. The inscription is also the first to include two names: Caliph Mo'auya and his viceroy Ali Basra Abdullah ibn Amer ibn Kriz. The research presents for discussion and documentation archaeologically by describing and reading it and mentioning all relevant data prior to this search on auction websites. The research discusses the relationship between Caliph Mo'auya and Abdullah ibn Amer ibn Kriz viceroy of Basra. The research ended with an archaeological study of the content, formulation and language of the inscription, as well as a comparison with contemporary inscriptions and its linkage to the administrative dimensions that prevailed in this early period of the Ummayad state.
