| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Shi'a kalima in bold Nasta'liq calligraphy, arranged across the central field and marginal border of the flan. The central area displays the principal declaration of faith, with the additional Shi'a affirmation 'Ali wali Allah' (Ali is the vicegerent of God) completing the legend in the surrounding band. Floral dot ornaments fill the interstices between the calligraphic elements. The inscription is contained within a circular linear border, consistent with standard Safavid presentation coinage of the late 11th–early 12th century AH. The overall composition reflects the deeply devotional Shi'a character of Safavid numismatic art under Sultan Husayn. |
