| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a multi-line poetic Nasta'liq legend in flowing calligraphic script, arranged in three horizontal registers across the flan and enclosed within a similarly shaped lobed cartouche. The inscription is a versified declaration attributing legitimate authority to the Imam of the Age (Sahib al-Zaman), the Twelfth Imam of Twelver Shi'ism, incorporating a chronogram. The AH date 1178 appears in the lower portion of the legend. A beaded border identical to that of the obverse encircles the reverse field, consistent with standard Zand hammered coinage practice. |
