Beschrijving voorzijde Hammered silver flan of irregular round form, the entire obverse field occupied by densely executed Arabic calligraphy in a bold, intertwined Naskh and Thuluth script. A central lobed cartouche encloses the royal titulature of Shah Isma'il I, surrounded by marginal legends continuing his full honorific titles. The inscription names the sovereign as the just, guiding, and protecting ruler of the Safavid dynasty, invoking divine perpetuation of his reign. The die-struck relief is robust, with overlapping letterforms characteristic of early Safavid hammered coinage. The flat field shows natural planishing marks and slight flan irregularities consistent with hand-struck production at the Tehran mint.

Aanvullende informatie

Isma'il I founded the Safavid dynasty in 1501 and immediately made Twelver Shi'a Islam the state religion of Iran — a decision with consequences that reverberate across the Middle East to this day. The coinage he introduced was central to that project. The shahi denomination itself was named after him, Shah Isma'il, and his silver issues were among the first Iranian coins to carry the names of the Twelve Imams as a deliberate confessional declaration, distinguishing Safavid authority from the Sunni Ottomans to the west and the Uzbeks to the east.

Album 2576 encompasses the full reign, and dies vary considerably across mints including Tabriz, the first Safavid capital.
