This falus struck in the city of Balkh is somewhat curious with the two words "falus" and "Balkh" linked by their last letters : the loop of the "sin" of "falus is common with the loop of the end of "Balkh"

Don't know if there are any rules for Arab calligraphy, but in European logo-design, this would be OK, or even desirable. Nevertheless, I'll settle for an engraver who felt creative after a nice, relaxing day off. ;) I any case, a good fun acquisition for your collection.
