| Reverse description | The Shi'a profession of faith (Kalima) dominates the field, inscribed in bold Nasta'liq script across horizontal registers divided by ruled lines. The legend enumerates the names of the Twelve Imams of Twelver Shi'ism following the declaration of faith, a hallmark of Safavid coinage. The inscription reads: 'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Ali is the Wali of Allah,' followed by the names of the remaining Imams. The overall composition is tightly arranged to fill the irregular flan, with the text extending to the coin's border. |
