Reverse description The reverse field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged across the coin's face in bold Naskh script, typical of provincial Qajar hammered copper issues. The legend fills the available space from the upper to lower field, with the denomination 'فلوس' (Falus) prominently rendered among the inscribed lines. The overall layout is characteristic of anonymous city-mint copper coinage of the Iravan khanate period, without a central border device, the script itself serving as the primary design element.
