| Reverse description | The Shi'ite Kalima inscription is displayed in bold nasta'liq script within a central dotted circle, proclaiming the Islamic declaration of faith along with the acknowledgment of Ali as the Friend of God. Surrounding the central dotted border, a continuous marginal legend in smaller nasta'liq script enumerates the names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'a Islam, running around the full circumference of the coin. The overall layout reflects the characteristic Safavid devotional epigraphic style, with the dense calligraphic field filling the entire flan. |
