| Obverse description | Multi-line Persian poetic inscription in bold nastaliq calligraphy fills the entire field, arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal dividing line. The upper register bears the opening verse of the royal legend praising divine grace, while the lower register names the issuing sovereign, Ebrahim Shah. The script is deeply struck in high relief, characteristic of Afsharid hammered coinage, with the fluid, sweeping strokes of the nastaliq style lending an ornate, monumental quality to the design. |
