awful  :'(  but possibly unpublished ...on which it is possible to read the mintname "Yazd"  and what which could be some parts of the epithet :"dar al'ibadh / abode of piety" ,but it's only tentative because rarely seen on coppers.
13.62g / 25mm

Are you trying to corner the market for Yazd coins? A week ago, I would have taken the animal for some kind of cat, but now, I am considering that it could be a monkey in a tree...

Not really, Peter!  :) it was only by chance that I found  few (misidentified ) coins which further appeared to belong to this mint; like the "Ugly Duckling", nobody paid attention to them.. ::)
