| Reverse description | Hammered silver reverse bearing the Shi'a declaration of faith (kalima) in nasta'liq script, arranged in multiple registers divided by a horizontal line. The central field carries the shahada 'La ilaha ill-Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah, Ali wali Allah', affirming the Twelver Shi'a creed characteristic of Safavid coinage. The bold, angular script fills the flan, with peripheral areas showing typical weakness of strike consistent with hand-hammered production. |
