Another I've not got anywhere with -

"zarb falus..." and unfortunately the mintname is not clear...
The lion & sun design and the arrangement of the legend well fit with the Tabriz civic copper n°115 of Valentine (KM45).

May be with a good light you will be able to detect traces of the mintname (at top) ?

Thanks very much Saro - I've studied that bit - but can't see much more than what's in the scan. Thanks for pointing out the sunface - I'd missed this completely :-\

I had a go at inking in what I could see in the (dismal) sunlight - not much more than what's on the scan - the smaller lines may turn out to be just marks in the copper :-[
