Reverse description Hammered gold flan displaying a multi-line Persian legend in Nasta'liq script, arranged in curved registers across the field. The inscription bears the phrase 'al-khayr fima waqa'a' (goodness lies in what has occurred) followed by a chronogrammatic legend recording the auspicious date of accession, with the abjad equivalent resolving to 1148 AH. The numeral date 1148 appears explicitly in the lower register, confirming the year of Nader Shah's coronation. The design is entirely epigraphic, consistent with Afsharid coinage conventions.
