| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse bears a three-line Shi'a Islamic profession of faith (shahadah) in nasta'liq script, distributed across horizontal registers within the circular field. The upper register contains the declaration of the unity of God and the prophethood of Muhammad; the lower register bears the acknowledgment of Ali as the Wali of God, a defining feature of Safavid-derived Zand coinage. The calligraphy is deeply struck and boldly rendered, filling the flan. The coin's irregular hammered flan is typical of mid-18th-century Iranian gold issues. The field surrounding the legend is plain with no additional decorative devices. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Karim Khan Zand never took the title of Shah, ruling instead as Vakil al-Ra'ya — regent of the subjects — a deliberate rejection of royal pretension that distinguished his reign from every other Persian dynasty of the period. That political modesty didn't extend to the mint: gold Ashrafis and their halves were struck continuously through his reign as Esfahan reasserted itself as a functioning administrative center after the catastrophic Afghan occupation and Nader Shah's violent consolidation had left Persian coinage in disarray.
The Esfahan mint was among the most active under Zand authority, and KM#531 represents a relatively stable moment in that production — the early 1770s, before Karim Khan's death in 1779 triggered the succession wars that would effectively end the dynasty within a generation.
