Additional information

Anonymous copper fals from Yazd circulated in a monetary environment where small-denomination copper coinage was frequently issued by local civic or religious authorities rather than the central Abbasid or later Ilkhanid administration. The anonymity of the issue — no ruler named — points almost certainly to a period of transitional authority or deliberate local autonomy in coin production. Yazd's relative isolation in the central Iranian plateau allowed it to sustain independent minting traditions longer than more exposed cities.
