| Reverse description | Three horizontal registers of Arabic nasta'liq script fill the central field, bearing the mint name, regnal titles of Karim Khan Zand, and the AH date. The legends are arranged in parallel lines across the die, with the mint name Māzandarān and the regnal year appearing in the lower register. A continuous foliate border of stylized floral ornaments frames the inscriptions, consistent with Zand Dynasty hammered coinage. The script displays the fluid, cursive character typical of Iranian provincial mint engraving of the late eighteenth century. |
