| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three-line Arabic legend filling the entire field in nasta'liq script, consistent with Safavid mint practice. The inscription bears the Shi'a kalima and mint attribution to Tabriz, arranged in bold strokes across the flan. The surface shows characteristic die-struck texture with slight metal flow at the margins, and the flan edge is irregular due to the hand-hammering technique. No outer border or cartouche frames the legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abbas II consolidated Safavid numismatic administration in the 1650s, enforcing stricter mint oversight across the empire following decades of inconsistent provincial output. Tabriz, sitting close to the Ottoman frontier, had a politically complicated minting history — the city changed hands between Safavid and Ottoman control multiple times during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries before stabilizing under Shah Abbas I. By the reign of Abbas II, Tabriz was a functioning but secondary mint, subordinate to the great output centers of Isfahan.
The 5 Shahi denomination corresponds to the half-abbasi, a workhorse of Safavid commercial exchange. Dies from Tabriz in this period are known for slight irregularities in flan preparation.
