| Beschrijving keerzijde | The field is filled with the names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'a Islam arranged concentrically in multiple registers of Arabic Nasta'liq script, radiating from the centre of the flan. This distinctive Shi'a religious formula, introduced by Shah Isma'il I as a declaration of Safavid confessional identity, lists all twelve Imams beginning with Ali and concluding with Muhammad al-Mahdi. The strike is bold but uneven across the irregular flan, with some legends partially off-flan at the margins. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Isma'il I founded the Safavid state in 1501 and almost immediately imposed Twelver Shi'a Islam as the official religion — a politically aggressive act in a predominantly Sunni region that reshaped coinage policy across the entire dynasty. The Tabas mint, operating from an oasis town in the central Iranian desert, was a secondary but functional issuing center during this formative decade, its output reflecting the administrative scramble to push new Safavid legitimacy into the provinces.
A#2577 encompasses the early hammered issues before any significant die standardization was achieved across provincial mints.
