| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears the Shi'a kalima in Persian Nasta'liq script, proclaiming the Islamic profession of faith together with the acknowledgment of Ali as the friend of God. The inscription is arranged in multiple registers across the irregular rectangular flan, with a beaded border visible along portions of the periphery. The strike is typical of Safavid hammered silver coinage, with slightly uneven pressure resulting in areas of varying relief across the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sultan Husayn was the last effective Safavid shah, and by 1716–1717 his court at Isfahan was already weakened by Afghan incursions that would culminate in the catastrophic fall of the capital in 1722. Yerevan — a strategically critical Armenian city on the Ottoman frontier — changed hands repeatedly between the Ottomans and Safavids across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its mint operated specifically to supply coinage to a region too distant and contested to be reliably served from central Persian mints.
The Yerevan mint's output from this period tends to be irregular in flan preparation, a consequence of provincial working conditions rather than any systematic deficiency.
