| Reverse description | Royal inscription in flowing Nasta'liq script occupying the central field, proclaiming the servitude of Shah Abbas to the Imam of sovereignty. The mint name Bihbahan (بهبهان) and the Hijri regnal date 1029 AH (corresponding to 1620 CE) are struck within the legend. The inscription reads: 'Servant of the Shah of Guardianship, Abbas — may God perpetuate his kingdom and sultanate, and upon all the worlds his benevolence and beneficence — struck at Bihbahan 1029.' The strike is characteristic of provincial Safavid hammered silver coinage, with the flan showing irregular planchet edges typical of the period. |
