| Obverse description | Central field bearing the Kalima (Islamic declaration of faith) in bold, deeply struck Nasta'liq Arabic script, arranged across the coin face in multiple registers. The legend reads the Shahada in large characters occupying the majority of the flan. A dotted border encircles the entire design, typical of Afsharid hammered coinage. The script is vigorously rendered, with characteristic overlapping strokes produced by the hand-hammered technique. The overall layout follows the standard Afsharid religious inscription format without figural imagery. |
