| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears the mint and royal titulature in flowing Arabic script arranged diagonally across the field, a hallmark of early Safavid hammered coinage. The legend reads 'Zarb Ganja 916 / al-Sultan Ismail Bahadur Khan', identifying the issuing authority as Shah Ismail I and recording the mint city of Ganja (in present-day Azerbaijan) and the AH date 916 (AD 1510). The script is bold and deeply struck, occupying the majority of the coin's surface with no border or ornamental frame. The irregular flan results in peripheral legend loss, consistent with hammered mint production of this period. The die style and titulature conform to the First Standard coinage of the early Safavid realm. |

Isma'il I founded the Safavid dynasty in 1501 and immediately imposed Twelver Shi'a Islam as the state religion — a politically aggressive act that put him in direct, lasting conflict with the Sunni Ottoman Empire to the west. The Ganja mint, operating in what is now Azerbaijan, was one of several regional facilities brought under Safavid control as Isma'il consolidated territory across the former Aq Qoyunlu lands in the early years of his reign.
Album 2576.1 designates this as the First Standard issue, predating the metrology reforms that would reshape Safavid silver coinage later in the sixteenth century. Ganja-mint pieces from this early phase are appreciably scarcer than those of the major Iranian centers.
