| Aversbeschreibung | Debased Sasanian-style royal bust facing right, rendered in the late Sasanian artistic tradition with heavily stylized regalia and coiffure. The portrait is executed in low relief on an irregularly flan, retaining the general conventions of Sasanian portraiture including a prominent crown or headdress. The surrounding field carries marginal decoration or a border of pellets or lines in keeping with late Sasanian and early Arab-Sasanian coinage typology. The design reflects the transitional period of early Islamic coinage, combining inherited Sasanian iconographic elements with nascent Islamic epigraphic additions. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Stylized Sasanian-derived fire altar design, shown in a highly schematic and degenerate form typical of early Arab-Sasanian copper fractions. The altar motif, inherited from Zoroastrian Sasanian prototypes, is rendered in low relief with flanking attendant figures reduced to abstract linear forms. Marginal or border legends in Arabic or Pahlavi script may appear around the periphery of the flan. The overall execution is rough and irregular, consistent with the crude hammered technique employed for small-denomination copper coinage of the Rashidun period. |

The Rashidun copper issues attributed to 'Uthman's caliphate occupy one of the murkiest corners of early Islamic numismatics. Arab-Sasanian and Arab-Byzantine transitional coinage from this period was largely imitative — local mint operators in Iraq, Syria, and Persia continued striking on inherited flans with minimal modification, making firm attribution to a specific caliph's reign more an editorial decision than a documented fact.
'Uthman's administration was consumed by the first serious fractures within the Muslim community, culminating in his assassination in 656. Coinage reform was not a priority.
