| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a densely composed Shi'a kalima inscription in bold nasta'liq Arabic script, arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the flan. The legend reads the Islamic profession of faith followed by the name of Ali as the Friend of God, with the AH date 1197 incorporated into the lower register. The calligraphy is deeply struck in high relief, characteristic of late Zand-period hammered gold coinage, with the letters filling the entire die area to the coin's raised rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The early 1780s mark the violent unraveling of Zand authority, with Lotf Ali Khan eventually losing ground to Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar — whose systematic destruction of Zand power culminated in the blinding and killing of the last Zand ruler in 1794. Coins issued in this transitional window are products of a dynasty already in terminal decline, minted under conditions of civil war and contracting territorial control.
The KM#705.2 designation distinguishes a die variety within the type. At 0.70g, this fractional gold saw use in a market where small-denomination specie remained practically necessary despite the political chaos surrounding its production.
