| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Shi'a Kalima in bold naskh/nasta'liq Arabic calligraphy, arranged in two horizontal registers divided by a ruled line. The upper register bears the Shahada declaration of faith, while the lower register includes the name of Ali as the wali of God. The legends fill the flan to the edges, characteristic of Safavid hammered gold coinage, with the irregular planchet producing uneven margins around the inscribed field. |
