| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in a cartouche-style layout, characteristic of Safavid-era copper falus from the Isfahan mint. The script is executed in a bold naskh hand, with the lines filling the available flan in a manner typical of anonymous municipal coinage of this period. The legends identify the denomination and mint, rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The irregular flan edges and slightly off-center strike reflect the hand-hammered production technique standard for provincial copper issues of the late Safavid period. |
