| Obverse description | Lion passant to right occupying the central field, rendered in a bold, naive hammered style characteristic of Safavid-era provincial copper coinage. A radiant sun or solar disc rises above the lion's back. The design is enclosed within a beaded or dotted circular border. The strike is irregular and the flan shows typical surface porosity associated with cast copper flans of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic legend in bold naskh script occupying the central field, reading the mint name and denomination. The inscription is surrounded by scattered pellets or annulets in the field, and the whole is contained within a plain inner circle. The strike is characteristically weak at the periphery, with the flan edges showing irregular hammered flattening typical of anonymous provincial falus issues. |
