thick copper coin (6 to 8mm) / diam. 20mm
unfortunately not in high grade  :'(...  but an uncommon design for this mint.

unusually small flan but presumably normal weight range for a Falus, I guess it's been well circulated and has many strange tales to tell!

For sure ! and I would be pleased to hear them...
This coin is coming from a lot of  Kashan copper coins of "lion & sun" type, few with dates 1136, 37 & 1140 AH and all more or less of the same size, thickness and weight : 20 to 22mm / 5-7mm /  18 to 19g
