| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a stylized floral or vegetal ornament rendered in low relief, consisting of a stem with branching elements and multi-lobed foliate motifs arranged symmetrically around a central vertical axis. The design exhibits a latticed or reticulated lower portion suggesting a formal garden or geometric floral composition, a decorative convention common on anonymous Timurid-era copper fulus. The roughly circular, irregular flan is characteristic of hammered production, and the field surface shows natural porosity consistent with copper alloy coinage of this period. |
