| Reverse description | Persian and Arabic legend in Nasta'liq script arranged in a tughra-inspired calligraphic composition across the field, containing a chronogram in the abjad numerical system recording the year AH 1148 (the year of Nader Shah's accession to the throne), alongside the phrase 'al-khayr fima waqa'a' (meaning: 'what has happened is good'), with the date AH 1149 also noted. The reverse legend serves as a commemorative and legitimizing inscription, referencing Nader's assumption of imperial power. The composition fills the flan entirely with bold calligraphic strokes, framed by a beaded border consistent with Afsharid hammered silver coinage of this type. |
