| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a four-line nastaliq inscription identifying the ruler and mint, reading: 'Banda-yi Shah-i Wilayat / Abbas / Zarb Qazwin / [AH date]' (Servant of the King of Sanctity / Abbas / Struck at Qazvin / [date]). The royal formula 'Banda-yi Shah-i Wilayat' — denoting Abbas II's devotion to Imam Ali — is rendered in sweeping nastaliq strokes across the upper registers, with the ruler's name 'Abbas' prominently placed in the central field. The mint name 'Qazvin' and the regnal year appear in the lower segment, partially visible given the irregular flan. A marginal floral or geometric border encircles the field, consistent with Type B2 Safavid die conventions. |
