| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized floral or vegetal motif composed of a curving stem or crescent-like form to the left and a pointed flame or leaf-shaped element to the right, rendered in bold relief characteristic of provincial hammered coinage. Above the central design, a cluster of pellets or berries arranged in a triangular grouping adds decorative detail to the upper field. The overall composition is asymmetric and executed in a naive, local artistic style typical of anonymous civic copper issues. |

| Additional information |
Dezful, a city on the Dez River in Khuzestan, periodically issued anonymous copper fulus outside the formal imperial mint system — small-scale civic or commercial coinage produced to fill a chronic shortage of low-denomination exchange currency that the central authorities rarely bothered to supply in copper. The anonymity is typical of such issues: no caliph, no governor, no regnal date, which makes precise attribution to a specific political moment nearly impossible without die linkage studies.
