Reverse description Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in three or four horizontal lines, enclosed within a beaded inner circle and an outer beaded border. The inscription is characteristic of anonymous provincial issues from the Gilan mint, rendered in a somewhat crude but legible Naskh-style script typical of local copper coinage.
