| Reverse description | The reverse field is filled with a bold Arabic inscription rendered in large, sweeping cursive characters typical of late Safavid provincial copper coinage, occupying the majority of the flan. The legends are arranged in multiple registers across the field without a formal border, consistent with anonymous hammered fals coinage of the period. The script is deeply struck relative to the surfaces, with individual letterforms showing the characteristic fluidity of Iranian calligraphic tradition. Surface patination and die wear render portions of the legend partially illegible, though the mint attribution to Qazwin is supported by catalog references. No figural imagery appears on this face. |
