| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan displaying the Shi'a Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) in two lines of bold nasta'liq script, separated by a horizontal line rule dividing the field. The upper register reads the first part of the Shahada affirming the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad, while the lower register continues with the declaration of Ali as the wali (guardian) of God, a distinctly Twelver Shi'a addition. The script is rendered in high-relief calligraphy consistent with Safavid mint production, with characteristic flan irregularities at the coin's edge. |
