| Obverse description | The field is entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in thuluth script, arranged in three horizontal registers separated by ruled lines. The upper register contains the royal titulature of Shah Ismail I, beginning with 'al-Sultan al-Kamil al-Hadi al-Wali Abu'l-Muzaffar.' The central and lower registers continue with the full royal name and Safavid epithet 'Ismail al-Safawi khallada Allahu mulkahu wa sultanahu,' followed by the mint name Badakhshan and the date of issue. The die is struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of early Safavid hammered coinage. |
