Reverse description The reverse presents a multi-line Persian inscription in fluid nastaliq script arranged in three horizontal registers within an inner field, surrounded by a prominent border of large raised beads. The upper register reads 'banda-yi Shah-i Wilayat' (servant of the King of Sanctity), the central register bears the royal name 'Husayn', and the lower register records the mint name 'zarb Isfahan' (struck at Isfahan) together with the AH regnal year 1123. The bold, sweeping strokes of the nastaliq are characteristic of the Isfahan mint's finest late Safavid production, with the bead border providing a refined decorative frame.
