背面描述	Central field bears the Shi'a profession of faith (kalima) in bold, deeply struck nasta'liq-influenced Arabic calligraphy, arranged across three horizontal registers divided by ruled lines. The upper register reads 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but God), the middle register 'Muhammad rasul Allah' (Muhammad is the Messenger of God), and the lower register 'Ali wali Allah' (Ali is the vicegerent of God), reflecting the Safavid state's Twelver Shi'a confession. The flan edges are irregular and show the characteristic crenellation of hammered coinage, with residual flat fields flanking the inscriptions.

附加信息	Kandahār changed hands between the Safavids and the Mughals repeatedly through the seventeenth century — the city was arguably the most contested strategic point in the entire region. Abbas II retook it from the Mughals in 1649, the very year of this striking, ending a decade of Mughal control. A coin from the Kandahār mint dated to that specific year is effectively a document of reconquest, produced in a facility that had been under foreign administration until months earlier.
