| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Shi'a Islamic declaration of faith (kalima) rendered in three horizontal registers of bold nasta'liq script across the coin field, separated by raised linear dividers. The upper register reads 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but God), the central band bears 'Muhammad rasul Allah' (Muhammad is the Messenger of God), and the lower register carries 'Ali wali Allah' (Ali is the Friend of God), affirming the Twelver Shi'a confession standard to Safavid coinage. Floral and foliate ornamental devices fill the spaces between the lines, and a dentilated outer border frames the entire composition. |
