Civic copper of Shiraz mint 1148 AH, lion attacking a goat

[saro]

18,56g /26mm
A skilful design of a hunting scene : the lion is here largely off, only the ends of its legs are visible over a poor flipped goat..
dated 1148 AH

[saro]

On the coin listed by B.Alaedini, we can better see the lion...
(18,4g / 24mm, dated 1145 AH)

Nice coin.
I would never have guessed there was a lion on your coin if you had not mentioned it.

[Figleaf]

Likewise for the date. Once you know what to look for you can find it. Bravo, saro.

Counting the legs of this goat, I found six, a little too much... 

[Figleaf]

Eight, actually, except that the front legs of the lion are off the flan on your coin. They can be seen on the Alaedini picture.

I missed seeing this one, a real beauty!

Thank you Vic.
"Shiraz" is not easy to read with a worn script and a cut word... but I console myself with this nice unusual goat design.
