| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan displaying the Shi'a kalima in Persian naskh script, arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the field. The inscription proclaims the Islamic profession of faith together with the acknowledgment of Ali as the Friend of God, a hallmark of Safavid coinage affirming Twelver Shi'a doctrine. The legend is enclosed within a beaded border and exhibits the bold, flowing calligraphic style typical of Abbas I-era issues, with visible flan irregularities and uneven strike consistent with hammered production. |
