Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by the Shi'ia Kalima in bold nasta'liq script, reading 'There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God, Ali is the Friend of God.' The names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'ism — Ali, Hasan, Husayn, Ali, Muhammad, Ja'far, Musa, Ali, Muhammad, Ali, Hasan, and Muhammad — are inscribed in a continuous circular border surrounding the central legend. The entire design is executed in hammered relief on an irregularly shaped flan, characteristic of Safavid silver coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Multi-line royal inscription in flowing nasta'liq script occupies the central field, invoking divine grace and proclaiming Shah Sulayman as 'Sahebqerani' (Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction) and 'Solomon of the World.' The AH date 1081 appears within the inscription. The legend is enclosed by a border of raised pellets forming a continuous ring around the circumference, a hallmark decorative feature of Safavid abbasi coinage. The mint name Tabriz (تبریز) is integrated into the inscription. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the hand-struck production technique of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Sulayman I (r. 1666–1694) inherited the Safavid throne in a palace coup engineered by the qizilbash chiefs who had deposed his father Abbas II — they selected him partly because his reputation for passivity suited their political ambitions. The Tabriz mint had operated intermittently under Safavid control since Shah Ismail I, its output always carrying significance beyond its face value as a symbol of sovereignty over the contested northwestern frontier with Ottoman Anatolia. By Sulayman's reign the mint was functioning, though Persian silver coinage of this period is frequently encountered with weak marginal legends owing to the broad, thin fabric pressing against undersized dies.
