| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered oval flan bearing the Shi'a kalima in Persian nasta'liq script, disposed across the field in multiple registers. The legend reads: 'La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah, Ali wali Allah', affirming the Twelver Shi'a profession of faith that is characteristic of Safavid coinage. The inscription is deeply struck, with bold sweeping strokes and occasional pellet diacritical marks visible in the field. The flan is irregular with typical ragged edges produced by hand-cutting of the silver blank prior to striking. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Baghdad fell to Shah Abbas I in 1624 after a prolonged Ottoman-Safavid contest over Mesopotamia, and coinage was struck there almost immediately as an assertion of Safavid control over the city. The mint operated only briefly under Safavid authority — the Ottomans retook Baghdad in 1638 under Murad IV following a brutal siege, ending Safavid striking there permanently.
The bisti denomination at this weight is among the smallest silver issues of the Abbas I coinage, and Baghdad-mint examples from this narrow occupation window are correspondingly scarce.
