| Reverse description | The reverse field is dominated by a bold two-line Shi'a kalima inscription in nasta'liq script, divided by a horizontal line rule that bisects the flan. The upper field bears the Shahada and the lower field the declaration of Ali as the Wali of God, reflecting the Safavid dynasty's Twelver Shi'a confessional identity. The legends fill the field to the beaded or rope inner border, characteristic of hammered Safavid gold coinage of this period. |
