| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular flan with heavily worn field displaying Arabic Kufic script in the central area. The legend reads 'بسم الله' (In the name of God), rendered in angular Kufic characters occupying the central field. The surface exhibits significant patination and wear consistent with circulation, with the flan showing characteristic irregular edges typical of Abbasid hammered copper coinage. No mint name or date is discernible on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anonymous copper fulus were the workhorse coinage of Abbasid local economies, struck at dozens of provincial mints with little central oversight. The caliphal administration largely ignored copper denomination production, leaving regional governors and sometimes private entrepreneurs to fill the gap — which is why attribution of these pieces to specific mints remains contested even among specialists.
The absence of a caliph's name was not an oversight. It reflects the official Abbasid position that copper was beneath the dignity of formal caliphal issue.
