Reverse description Irregular oval flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in bold, cursive script occupying the central field, reading 'الله / صمد' (Allah / Samad), a Quranic epithet meaning 'Allah, the Eternal Refuge,' derived from Surah Al-Ikhlas. The letters are rendered in a broad, provincial hand characteristic of hammered copper fulus of the Shirvan Khanate. A column of pellets is visible along the right margin of the flan. The field is otherwise plain, with no border or additional decorative elements.
