Obverse description Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a central Arabic legend in raised relief occupying the majority of the field, with additional inscription fragments visible to the left and right margins. The die-struck text, rendered in an angular Kufic-influenced script, is characteristic of Timurid copper coinage and likely references the ruler's name or titles. The surface exhibits heavy patination with areas of corrosion consistent with prolonged burial or circulation, and the flan edges are notably irregular due to the hand-hammered production technique. Peripheral legends or mint data appear partially legible at the margins, though much detail is obscured by wear and corrosion.
