| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan displaying a bold Arabic-script legend occupying the central field. The inscription, struck in relief with characteristic Afsharid calligraphic style, fills the available surface. The flan shows an uneven, lobate edge typical of hand-struck provincial copper coinage of the period. The surfaces exhibit a dark olive-brown patina consistent with prolonged circulation. No figural devices or decorative borders are present, the design being entirely epigraphic in character. |
