| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in three registers within a dotted circular border. The inscription presents the Shi'a kalima in flowing naskh script, with the text filling the flan in the characteristic dense style of Zand-era hammered coinage. The irregular flan and hand-struck technique lend the design an organic, slightly asymmetric character typical of 18th-century Persian provincial mint production. |
