| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multi-line thuluth inscription occupying the full field, recording the royal titulature, mint name, and regnal year. The legend identifies the issuer as 'Servant of Imam Mohammad Mahdi, Abu al-Muzaffar Sultan Muhammad Khodabandeh,' followed by the mint name Isfahan and the numeral 5, denoting the regnal year. The script, deeply engraved on the irregularly shaped flan, is consistent with Safavid hammered gold coinage of the late sixteenth century, with no additional decorative elements or border. |
