| Reverse description | Irregular hammered silver flan displaying the Shi'a kalima in bold Nasta'liq script arranged across three horizontal registers separated by ruled lines. The inscription reads the Islamic declaration of faith followed by the acknowledgment of Muhammad as the Prophet of God and Ali as the Wali of God, reflecting the distinctly Twelver Shi'a character of Safavid coinage. The script is deeply struck and fills the entire field, with the flan showing characteristic irregular edges typical of hand-hammered production. |
