| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a bold, calligraphic Arabic legend reading 'al-Sultan' (السلطان) executed in a large, fluid Nastaliq script typical of Afsharid coinage. The inscription is enclosed within a plain circular border, with decorative pellet ornaments arranged in clusters flanking the central text. The broad, flat flan and deeply struck legend are characteristic of the hammered silver coinage of Nader Shah's reign. |
