| Reverse description | The reverse is fully inscribed in flowing nastaliq script arranged in multiple horizontal registers across the flan, presenting the royal mint legend of Shah Abbas III. The text records the ruler's titles and epithet, identifying him as 'Abbas the Third, Shadow of God, the Second Sahebqeran,' followed by the AH regnal year and the mint name Rasht. A beaded border frames the inscribed field, consistent with Safavid coin design conventions. The strike is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, with some weakness at the margins due to the irregular planchet. |
