| Obverse description | The field is entirely occupied by a bold three-line Shi'a Islamic inscription rendered in nastaliq script, comprising the shahada and the declaration of Ali as the Friend of God. The legends are separated by ruled horizontal lines and are enclosed within a prominent beaded border running around the entire periphery of the flan. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline typical of Afsharid gold coinage, with the raised script displaying vigorous, deeply struck strokes against a flat field. |
