| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered silver flan featuring a four-line Persian nasta'liq legend distributed across the field in two registers divided by a horizontal line, enclosed within a circular pellet border. The inscription identifies the ruler as Safi, servant of the king of the Velayat (i.e., devotee of Imam Ali), and records the mint name Tiflis (modern Tbilisi, Georgia). The script is boldly engraved with characteristic Safavid calligraphic flourishes, though the strike is slightly off-center, a typical feature of provincial hammered issues. The flan shows minor lamination and edge irregularities consistent with the Tiflis mint's output during the reign of Shah Safi I. |

Tiflis — modern Tbilisi — fell under Safavid control after Shah Abbas I's campaigns in the Caucasus, and the mint there struck coins intermittently as a demonstration of Persian sovereignty over contested Georgian territory. This piece dates to the opening years of Safi I's reign, a period of court consolidation following Abbas I's death in January 1629. Safi, known for executing perceived rivals including members of his own family, presided over a minting administration that largely inherited the apparatus his predecessor built.
The Tiflis mint was geographically exposed — Ottoman pressure on the region never fully abated — making its output historically discontinuous.
