| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sultan Husayn's reign (1694–1722) is bookmarked by administrative paralysis and the catastrophic Afghan invasion that ended Safavid rule entirely. By 1706–1707, the dynasty's minting operations were increasingly erratic — provincial mints ran with inconsistent supervision, producing weight and fineness variations that drove silver hoarding among the merchant class. The 10 shahi denomination, a heavy multiple, was particularly vulnerable to this: examples from the period show measurable weight scatter even within single mint runs.
Sultan Husayn was deposed by Mir Mahmud Hotak in 1722 and executed seven years later — making coins of his reign the last substantial silver issues of a dynasty that had controlled Iranian coinage for over two centuries.
