| Obverse lettering | بنده شاه ولایت حسین ضرب نخجوان ۱۱۳۰ |
| Reverse description | The reverse field bears the Shi'a kalima in elegant nasta'liq calligraphy, distributed across three horizontal lines reading 'la ilaha illa Allah / Muhammad rasul Allah / Ali wali Allah', affirming the Islamic profession of faith together with the Shi'a declaration of Ali's saintly authority. The inscription fills the flan in bold, deeply incused strokes characteristic of Safavid religious coinage. A border of pellets surrounds the field along the coin's irregular edge, consistent with the obverse treatment. The layout and script style conform to the standard reverse type employed throughout the reign of Shah Sultan Husayn. |
