Reverse description Hammered reverse displaying the Shi'ite kalima arranged in bold nasta'liq script within horizontal registers across the irregular flan. The central field bears the principal declaration of faith affirming the unity of God, the prophethood of Muhammad, and the divine authority of 'Ali, consistent with the standard Safavid reverse type. A linear border separates the upper and lower inscription bands. The coin shows typical characteristics of late Safavid hammered coinage, with slightly uneven strike and natural flan irregularities; a circular piercing is visible near the upper edge.
