Reverse description Hammered silver flan displaying the Shi'a kalima in bold Nasta'liq script arranged in two registers separated by a prominent horizontal rule. The upper register carries the shahada — the declaration of the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad — while the lower register affirms Ali as the vicegerent of God. The inscription is struck in high relief with the deeply cut lettering typical of Safavid abbasi coinage, the field exhibiting the characteristic irregular surface of hand-struck pieces.
