| Reverse description | The reverse of the host flan bears the remnants of the original hammered design, now largely obscured by the application of the countermark and significant wear. Partial Arabic inscriptions are discernible in the field, with fragmentary cursive letterforms visible across the surface. The flan exhibits an irregular, lobate outline typical of Central Asian copper fulus of the Timurid period, with patinated surfaces showing green and brown oxidation. The strike is weak in areas, reflecting the secondary countermarking process applied over the pre-existing host coin. |
