| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line nastaliq legend filling the entire field, identifying the ruler as Sulayman, servant of the King of the Velayat (a Shi'a epithet), and recording the mint name Nakhjawan (Nakhchivan). The inscription is arranged in sweeping, overlapping registers characteristic of the Type B Safavid style, with the mint name and royal epithet prominently disposed across the lower portion of the field. The strike is bold with moderate relief, typical of late Safavid hammered provincial coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, consistent with hand-struck silver of this period. No border ornamentation or additional decorative elements are present. |
