| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a bold Shi'a kalima inscription executed in flowing nastaliq script, occupying the entire field across multiple registers. The central legend proclaims the shahada followed by the names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'a Islam, a hallmark feature of Safavid coinage introduced under Shah Ismail I. The script is deeply struck in high relief against a flat, unadorned field, with the characteristic irregular flan typical of hammered Islamic silver. No border or decorative frame is present, and the legends extend to the very edges of the planchet. |
