This falus of Kashan is a thick copper coin (5mm)  / 18,05g & diam 22mm with full mintname; curiously, the last digit of the date (in the "n" of Kashan) is needed  ???

Could the date be 1137, with the 7 at 3 o'clock near the edge?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

 :applause: Thank you Peter !  well pointed ! it is well the last digit which is far from its friends...
* to notice : the combined letter "sin"(S) of the words "falus" and "Kashan"

This coin was struck at time of Afghan rule over Persia, the year of Mahmud Hotaki's death  (22/04/1725 / 8 chaaban the 8th month of 1137); he was succeeded by Ashraf Khan.
