Obverse description A stylized peacock facing left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, naive hammered style characteristic of provincial Iranian copper coinage. The bird's tail feathers are depicted in a fan-like arrangement with pellet ornaments, and small raised pellets are scattered around the figure. The entire central device is enclosed within a beaded or pellet border that follows the irregular flan edge. The composition is symmetrical and decorative, reflecting the artistic conventions of Qajar-era municipal mint production.
