1 Fals - Anonymous Lahijan

Beschrijving voorzijde	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.

Aanvullende informatie	Lahijan, a small city on the Caspian littoral of Gilan province, operated as an independent political center under local rulers whose anonymity on the coinage was likely deliberate — in periods of shifting Timurid and Turkmen suzerainty, omitting a ruler's name reduced the risk of a coin becoming politically obsolete overnight. Album 3246 places this type within a tight cluster of provincial Caspian issues that are poorly documented precisely because Gilan's damp climate destroyed most archival records and corroded much of the surviving copper.
