| Obverse lettering | فلوس شیراز ١٢۶۲ (Translation: Fulus Shiraz 1262) |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a Persian-script legend identifying the mint city of Shiraz and the AH date 1262, arranged in the field in the customary style of provincial civic copper coinage. This issue is classified as a Civic Copper falus, struck for local circulation in the Shiraz region. Stephen Album's Checklist of Islamic Coins designates this type as Scarce (S), reflecting its relative rarity among surviving examples. The surface shows the characteristic pitting and irregular flan typical of hammered copper issues of this period. No decorative border or additional devices are noted. |
