Yes it is Resht; this coin is the n° 77 catalogued by W.H. Valentine.
It is, I think a scarce type.  :perfect:

thanks for your help.....then it is....... Iran,Civic copper coin of Rasht...unfortunately I do not have that book...I will be highly thankful if you  tell me more about this coin....I found some of W.H.Valentine books in Amazon, if you kindly tell me the name of the book...I can search and try to get one....regards

the book is : "Modern Copper Coins of Muhammadan States" by W.H Valentine / 1911 but still very useful with marvellous hand drawings of all the coins described.
You can refer to this link and download the book from the web :
