| Reverse description | The reverse presents a deeply struck concentric double-square or lozenge-within-lozenge device occupying the central field, a geometric motif commonly employed on anonymous Iranian copper fals of the medieval Islamic period. To the upper left, a cluster of four raised pellets is arranged in a two-by-two formation, with partial traces of additional design elements visible along the lower and right margins of the irregular flan. The field surrounding the central device is flat and largely plain, bearing the characteristic pitting and surface roughness associated with base-metal hammered coinage. The overall die work is bold and geometric, consistent with anonymous provincial mint production. |

| Additional information |
Anonymous copper fals of this type circulated widely across the early Abbasid provincial network, where local mints often struck without attribution to avoid the political complications of naming a governor mid-tenure. The absence of a mint name here is less a mystery than a bureaucratic habit.
