Fals - Anonymous Zaranj

Zaranj, capital of Sistan province in what is now southwestern Afghanistan, was among the easternmost cities absorbed into the Umayyad administrative network following the Arab conquest of the region in the late 7th century. Anonymous copper fals from this mint are poorly documented in the major corpora, and attribution often hinges on subtle epigraphic peculiarities rather than explicit mint naming — the word "Zaranj" appearing in Arabic script on copper issues from this region remains a subject of ongoing specialist debate.
