| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular rectangular hammered copper flan bearing a stylized quadruped animal, likely a lion, depicted in profile facing right in the central field. The figure is rendered in low relief with crude but characteristic Safavid provincial style. Partial Arabic or Persian legends appear in the field surrounding the animal, though heavily worn and partially legible. The flan edges are irregular and uneven, consistent with hand-cut hammered coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anonymous copper falus from Isfahan circulated in a monetary environment where the Safavid central authority had largely withdrawn from small-denomination coinage, leaving municipal and regional mints to fill the gap on an ad hoc basis. Attribution is complicated by the absence of a ruler's name — a deliberate feature of many such issues, not an oversight — which makes precise dating dependent almost entirely on epigraphy and stylistic comparison with dated contemporaries.
Isfahan's mint was among the most active in the Safavid realm, particularly under Shah Abbas I, who made the city his capital in 1598.
