| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Isma'il I founded the Safavid dynasty in 1501 and immediately made Twelver Shi'ism the state religion of Iran — a politically aggressive act that put him in direct confrontation with the Sunni Ottoman Empire. The coinage he issued from Tabriz, his capital, carried that sectarian declaration into everyday commerce. Tabriz itself fell to the Ottomans under Selim I in 1514 following the Battle of Chaldiran, though the Safavids reoccupied it shortly after.
Isma'il died in 1524, two years after this piece was struck, a broken man by most contemporary accounts — Chaldiran had shattered his belief in his own divine invincibility.
