| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold nasta'liq calligraphic legend arranged in sweeping curved lines, reading the royal devotional formula identifying Shah Abbas as servant of the king of seigniory, with the Tabriz mint name and AH date 1026 inscribed within the composition. The central inscription is enclosed within a double-line circular border, itself surrounded by a continuous marginal legend in a finer script running along the outer rim. The flan is irregular in shape, as is characteristic of hammered Safavid coinage, with slightly ragged edges. The relief is bold and well-struck in the central zone, with the calligraphy executed in the ornate Safavid court style. No figurative imagery is present, in accordance with Islamic artistic convention. |
