| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered silver reverse of irregular oval form, displaying the Shi'a kalima in multi-line Arabic naskh script prominently across the central field, enclosed within a dotted inner border. The shahada reads 'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Ali is the Friend of Allah,' asserting the Twelver Shi'a creed that became a defining feature of Safavid coinage from the dynasty's foundation. A secondary marginal legend runs along the outer border, partially lost at the flan edges. The engraving is robust and characteristic of early sixteenth-century Safavid die-cutting, with intertwined letterforms and confident calligraphic execution. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Isma'il I founded the Safavid state in 1501 and immediately imposed Twelver Shi'a Islam as the official religion — a decision that fractured the Islamic world and put Safavid Iran on a permanent war footing with Ottoman Sunni orthodoxy. Qazwin served as a significant administrative center during his reign before his grandson Tahmasp I formally moved the capital there in 1555.
The 2 Shahi denomination corresponds to the early Safavid monetary reorganization built around the shahi as the base silver unit. Issues from Isma'il's reign predate the standardization that later mints would achieve under his successors.
