It's an interesting  civic copper of Herat under persian rule  :perfect:
The mintname is almost complete at left, after the word "falus".
legend is "zarb falus Herat" + date at top, which is not very clear ?

Thank you very much.
I didn't manage to read Herat on this one.

I agree that is not easy...I join a sketch
I found a similar coin on Zeno, see here

I can see 12 above the divider.

I like the extra dimensions of your overlays, the way you follow the thickness of the strokes and how you separate them, giving the design depth. Thank you, saro!

Thank you Peter : it's just a question of computer mouse  :)

Thank you for this overlay. That makes it clear, even to me.
Yes the 12 is quite clear at 12 0`clock. The symbols before and behind are not so good readable.
It could be 1123 or maybe 1213  ???

My guess 1227 or 1237...
