| Reverse description | Arabic inscription arranged in multiple lines across the field, reading the mint formula denoting the year of striking and place of issue. The legend, executed in a bold cursive Arabic script, reads '1090 Struck Fulus Tiflis,' referencing the AH year 1090 (1679 CE) and the Tiflis mint. The script fills the central field with additional decorative calligraphic flourishes at the upper margin. The flan is irregular with a worn, granular surface patinated in dark olive-green and turquoise copper corrosion products. No border or additional ornamental devices are present. |
