| Reverse description | Arabic script legend in two or three lines occupying the central field, surrounded by a dotted border. The inscription, struck in low relief on an irregular copper flan, shows typical characteristics of provincial hammered coinage from the Lahijan mint, with partial legibility due to weak strike and surface wear. |

| Additional information |
Lahijan, a city on the Caspian littoral of Gilan province, operated intermittently as a minor mint during periods when central Persian authority fragmented — most notably under the local Kia dynasty before Safavid consolidation. Anonymous copper fals from provincial mints like this one are poorly represented in the literature; A#3246 covers a broad grouping rather than a precisely dated issue, reflecting how little die study has been done on Gilani copper.
