| Obverse description | Obverse field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in cursive Naskh script, arranged in flowing lines across the irregular flan. The inscription records the royal titulature of Shah Isma'il I, comprising his full honorific titles — al-Sultan al-Adil al-Kamil al-Hadi al-Wali Abu al-Muzaffar Shah Isma'il Bahadur Khan al-Safawi — followed by the mint name Tabriz and the AH date 928. The script is boldly struck with characteristic Safavid calligraphic style, filling the field without a defined border. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular shape typical of hammered gold issues of this period. |
