| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered gold flan bearing the Shi'a kalima in multi-line Arabic script in Nasta'liq style, distributed across the central field within a dotted inner border and an outer border of additional Quranic or devotional text. The field is dominated by the declaration of faith and the names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'ism, a hallmark feature of Safavid coinage used to assert dynastic and religious legitimacy. The inscription reads continuously across four registers, with the names of the Imams listed in sequence from Ali through the twelfth Imam, rendered in bold, fluid calligraphy characteristic of late Safavid gold issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abbas III was installed as shah in 1732 at roughly eight years old, a puppet of the powerful Afghan-fighting general Nader Khan, who would depose him entirely in 1736 to found the Afsharid dynasty. The entire Abbas III coinage window is therefore compressed into fewer than four years of a regency government, with Nader effectively running the empire while nominally minting in a child's name. Esfahan, still the Safavid ceremonial capital despite its sack by Afghan forces in 1722, retained its mint operations through this transitional period.
The KM#348.1 designation separates this emission from Type B by die characteristics specific to the Esfahan workshop.
