| Reverse description | Field bearing Arabic inscriptions in naskh calligraphy consistent with Safavid First Standard coinage, likely including the mint name Mashhad and the name and titles of Shah Isma'il I. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of hammered production. Mashhad is recorded as a rare mint for this coin type under Stephen Album's classification (Album #2576), which otherwise designates the type as common. The reverse legends are partially visible due to the irregular strike, a characteristic feature of early Safavid provincial minting practice. |
