| Reverse description | Irregular rectangular flan with a continuous border of raised pellets following the coin's contour. The reverse field is divided into two registers by a central horizontal rule, both filled with bold Nasta'liq Arabic calligraphy in high relief. The upper register bears the Shahada: 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah' (There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God), while the lower register continues with the Shi'a formula 'Ali wali Allah' (Ali is the Regent of God), affirming the Twelver Shi'a confession of faith characteristic of Safavid coinage. Small pellet ornaments punctuate the margins. The strike is typically uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production. |
