| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line epigraphic field in Nasta'liq script, arranged across the coin without a formal border. The upper portion displays the mint epithet 'Dar al-Amana' (Abode of Security) alongside the mint name Isfahan (Esfahan), while the lower register bears the word 'zarb' (struck) and the AH date 1178. The invocation 'Ya Karim' (O Generous One), referencing both the epithet of God and the regnal name of Karim Khan Zand, appears prominently. Small decorative dot-rosette ornaments punctuate the legend, consistent with Zand-period Isfahan mint style. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edges, as expected of hammered coinage. |
