Definizione

• Also named Pul, and Qaz. A copper coin of Persia of the Sufi or Safi dynasty, and valued at one fourth of a Bisti.

  The name Kasbegi is not inscribed on these coins, but instead of this occurs the Arabic word Falus, the plural of Fels, which is supposed to be a corruption of the Latin Follis, just as the Persian denomination of Pul, applied to the same species of coin, seems to be derived from Obolus.

  Under Nasir al din (A.H. 1264-1314) the Kasbegi was made the one tenth of the Shahi, and equal to the Turkish Para. See Fonrobert, Die Jules Fonrobert'sche Sammlung uberseeischer Munzen. 1878 (4305 et seq.).
