| Obverse description | The obverse is entirely occupied by bold Nasta'liq calligraphic legends in high relief, hammered into the irregular gold flan. A central circular cartouche contains the devotional legend declaring the issuer's servitude to Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, surrounded by the mint name Kashan and the AH date 989 in the outer field. The script is characteristic of late Safavid die-cutting, with deeply cut, vigorous strokes filling the entire surface. |
