| Reverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a dense multi-line Arabic and Persian legend filling the central field within a linear border. The legend, executed in a cursive naskh-derived hand, identifies the ruler with his full titulature and patronymic, and includes a Persian mint formula recording the year of issue. The script is arranged in horizontal registers across the field, with no figurative devices or ornamental elements. Surface patination is deep olive-green with areas of malachite encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. The strike is off-centre in places, a characteristic feature of this irregular fals series. |
