| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Shi'a kalima in bold Nasta'liq script, densely arranged across the field in multiple registers. The upper portion carries the shahada 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah,' while the lower field bears the declaration 'Ali wali Allah,' affirming the Twelver Shi'a confession of faith central to Safavid coinage. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, with characteristic interlocking strokes typical of hammered Safavid gold issues. |
