| Obverse description | Three-line Arabic legend occupying the entire field, with the Hijri date inscribed in the central line. The script is executed in a bold nasta'liq calligraphic style typical of Safavid hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at one edge, as is characteristic of hand-struck silver issues of the period. No border or decorative frame is present, the legends extending nearly to the coin's rim. |
