| Reverse description | Persian inscription in two lines occupying the central field, giving the mint name and AH date. The legend reads 'Zarb Fulus Nakhchivan' (Struck Fulus of Nakhchivan) above the hijri date 1148, all rendered in a somewhat crude hand consistent with provincial hammered coinage. The field is otherwise plain, with the irregular flan edge visible around the inscription. |

| Additional information |
Nakhichevan's civic copper issues of the 1730s belong to a poorly documented stratum of regional Caucasian coinage produced during the power vacuum following the collapse of Safavid authority. The 1735 date places this piece squarely in the years when Nader Shah was consolidating control over the Caucasus — a campaign that brought considerable disruption to local monetary systems and left many cities issuing anonymous copper on their own account simply to keep trade functioning.
Album 3251 is among the scarcer civic types in the series.
