| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing the Shi'a Islamic declaration of faith (kalima) in Nasta'liq script, arranged across the field in multiple registers separated by a horizontal bar. The central legend reads the shahada followed by the affirmation of Ali as the wali of God, a hallmark of Safavid religious coinage. The calligraphy is bold and deeply struck, occupying the full extent of the irregular flan with fluid, overlapping strokes characteristic of the period. |
