| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Safi I inherited the Safavid throne in 1629 following the death of Abbas I — the dynasty's most capable ruler — and his reign marked an early contraction of imperial confidence. The Abbasi denomination itself had been introduced by Abbas I as part of a currency reform, replacing older monetary units with a more rationalized silver coinage tied to his name. Esfahan was the imperial capital and its mint the most productive in the empire, but Safi's tenure saw increasing pressure on the empire's eastern and western frontiers simultaneously.
Type B distinguishes this issue from the earlier striking standard established under Abbas I.
