| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a multi-lobed interlaced nastaliq composition bearing the names of the Twelve Imams arranged in a rosette or cartouche pattern, with strands of script interweaving across the field in the distinctive Safavid style. A circular marginal legend in nastaliq script surrounds the central design, likely containing the mint name Tabriz and the regnal name of Shah Tahmasp I along with the AH date. The flan edges are uneven and slightly ragged, consistent with hand-cut planchets of the period. The strike is bold at center with some weakness toward the periphery, typical of hammered Safavid issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tahmasp I spent much of his reign absorbing Ottoman pressure on his western frontier — Suleiman the Magnificent launched three major campaigns into Safavid territory between 1533 and 1554, including the occupation of Tabriz itself in 1534. The Third Western Silver Standard, introduced around 948 AH, reflects a deliberate monetary reorganization during this period of sustained military strain, likely connected to the fiscal demands of maintaining a mobile court and army capable of the scorched-earth withdrawals Tahmasp used to exhaust Ottoman supply lines.
Tabriz, as the Safavid capital until its vulnerability forced the court eastward to Qazvin in 1555, was the prestige mint of the realm during this window.
