Obverse description Irregular hammered copper flan displaying Arabic script in the central field, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hand typical of provincial Islamic copper coinage. The legends are arranged across the field in multiple lines, heavily obscured by extensive green patination and surface corrosion. The inscription likely contains a religious formula or the mint name. The flan edges are uneven and jagged, characteristic of hand-struck local issues from the Fuman mint.

Reverse description Irregular hammered flan with Arabic script disposed across the central field in two or more horizontal lines, partially legible beneath heavy green cuprite and verdigris patination. The legends, typical of anonymous provincial fals coinage, may reference the mint name Fuman and possibly a denominational or religious formula. The overall die work is rough and utilitarian, consistent with local civic copper issues. The flan boundary is irregular with pronounced irregularities along the periphery.
