| Reverse description | Reverse field filled with a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold Naskh-Thuluth calligraphy arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The text includes the name and titles of Shah Tahmasb I along with a religious invocation referencing the Safavid royal lineage and Shi'a creed. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central inscriptions. The mint name and regnal date may appear within the lower registers. The hammered flan exhibits slight irregularity typical of hand-struck Safavid gold issues. |
