Reverse description The reverse field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic script inscription filling the central area, denoting the mint name and denomination. The legend reads 'Falus, struck at Kashan' in flowing Nasta'liq-style calligraphy arranged in two or three lines across the field. A beaded border encircles the inscription along the coin's periphery, consistent with other Safavid anonymous copper falus issues. The flan is irregular and the strike shows typical weakness at the margins. No regnal name or date appears, identifying this as an anonymous type.
