| Obverse description | Central field depicts a quadruped animal, likely a lion or deer, shown in profile facing left in a running or walking pose, surrounded by a decorative foliate or floral motif above the animal's back. The entire central design is enclosed within a circular border of rope or bead pattern. The overall style is characteristic of provincial Iranian hammered coinage, executed in a bold, somewhat naive engraving tradition. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic legend in Nasta'liq script, reading the mint formula proclaiming the place of striking. The inscription is arranged across the field within a circular dotted or beaded border, typical of Lahijan local copper coinage. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface porosity and patination of hammered provincial copper issues. No date appears on this anonymous type. |
