| Obverse description | Central field divided into five rectangular panels arranged in a cartouche, each containing lines of Arabic script in Naskh style bearing the royal titulature of Shah Isma'il I: al-Sultan al-Adil al-Kamil al-Hadi al-Wali Abul-Muzaffar Shah Isma'il Bahadur Khan al-Safawi, followed by the pious formula 'Khallad Allah mulkahu wa sultanahu' (May God perpetuate his kingdom and sovereignty). The mint name 'Zarb Astarabad' (struck at Astarabad) appears in the lower panel. The central cartouche is surrounded by a continuous floral and arabesque marginal legend filling the outer field to the irregular flan edge, typical of early Safavid hammered coinage. |
