Oblong civic copper, ibex facing right, Farahabad mint

[saro]

This worn and corroded oblong persian civic copper  is somewhat awful ...
I have noticed that Ardabil, Isfahan and Qom mints have struck coins showing a deer or an ibex; here the ibex has its left front leg bent.
The mint is uncertain but could be Urumi ?
26mm x 19mm / 8,52g /  not dated it seems.

I wish I could help, but all I can say is great overlay. You did a wonderful job hiding the animal's private parts.

I don't think I would have spotted that it was an animal myself although I can see it now it's outlined

May be later a coin will appear with a similar posture of the animal and a legible mintname ?...
It is possible to read only "zarb falus" on the other face  remains of what could be " mi / می " lead me to think to "Urumi"

I discover that exactly the same coin is listed by Bahram Alaedini...I should have just looked at the right page 
It's a civic copper of Farahabad, a very rare mint indeed    listed neither by R.Matthee (Monetary History of Iran) nor on Zeno.

This coin is not in better grade than mine, but however shows a good part of the mintname.
"Aries", 8,4g / 31,5mm x19 mm with this comment : "Farahabad is the name of two famous resorts of the Safavids kings (one near Sari and the other one near Isfahan)"

Excellent, you can finally write out it's ticket!,  does the Bahram Alaedini coin have anything readable on the reverse?

[saro]

This is the other face of the Alaedini's coin of which only the beginning of the mintname is clear "فرح  "
it must be the mint place (near isfahan) called "Ja'farabad" followed with a question mark, on H.Mathee's map 2 / Ja'farabad is present in the list of mints on Zeno (without coin).

 I wonder if " فرح اباد / Farhabad" is the same mint as "جعفرابد / Ja'farabad" found on the "be-lanat" series struck at time of the early Safavids rulers (see : be-lanat, Ja'farabad); this coin with an ibex (Aries ?) looks like a later issue and could be well from a different place

I would think very likely, we often see such similarities in variations of spelling of mints of coins of India
