| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse presents a densely inscribed field in bold Nasta'liq calligraphic script, arranged in multiple horizontal registers within a central cartouche encircled by an intricate arabesque scrollwork border. The central legend identifies the issuing authority and mint, reading in Persian the declaration of Shah Sulayman's sovereignty and the mint city of Isfahan with the AH date 1099. An outer granulated or beaded border frames the entire design, characteristic of large-flan Safavid hammered silver coinage. The field is darkened with natural cabinet toning, contrasting sharply with the raised silver lettering to produce a visually striking epigraphic composition. No figurative imagery appears; the design relies entirely on the aesthetic power of the calligraphic inscription. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sulayman I — known before his coronation as Safi II — had his reign reset in 1666 after astrologers declared the original accession date inauspicious, forcing a second coronation ceremony and a renaming. His rule over Persia was largely passive; real authority drifted toward court eunuchs and the harem administration while the shah retreated into drink. The Esfahan mint remained productive throughout, as the Safavid monetary system depended heavily on large-denomination silver for trade with the Ottoman and Mughal economies.
At nearly 37 grams, the 20 shahi represented the heaviest standard silver denomination in regular Safavid production.
