| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized floral or vegetal motif composed of a curving stem or crescent-like form to the left and a pointed flame or leaf-shaped element to the right, rendered in bold relief characteristic of provincial hammered coinage. Above the central design, a cluster of pellets or berries arranged in a triangular grouping adds decorative detail to the upper field. The overall composition is asymmetric and executed in a naive, local artistic style typical of anonymous civic copper issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic inscription in large, bold Naskh script occupying the central field, reading 'فلس / دزفول' (Fals / Dezful), identifying both the denomination and the issuing mint. The lettering is deeply struck and occupies the majority of the flan, with individual characters showing the broad, cursive strokes characteristic of provincial hammered copper coinage. The coin's irregular flan results in some truncation of the legend at the periphery. |
