1 Fals - Anonymous Bihbihan mint

Beschrijving voorzijde	Floral and vegetal decorative design occupying the entire field of this irregularly shaped hammered copper fals. The central motif appears to depict a stylized bird or zoomorphic figure flanked by large palmette or tulip-like floral sprays rendered in bold relief. The composition is characteristic of anonymous local Persian municipal coinage, executed in a naive but expressive die-cutting style with no inscriptions present on this face.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Three-line Arabic inscription in naskh script occupying the central field, reading 'ضرب / بهبهان / فلس' (meaning 'struck / Bihbihan / fals'). The legend is surrounded by a prominent border of large raised pellets encircling the inscription, a decorative convention common to anonymous provincial Iranian copper coinage. The flan is thick and irregular, typical of hand-struck municipal issues, with surface granularity and flan cracks consistent with the copper alloy and hammered technique.
