| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

Karim Khan Zand never took the title of Shah, ruling instead as Vakil al-Ra'aya — regent of the people — a deliberate political choice that shaped his coinage. The Kermān mint was reactivated under Zand administration after decades of disruption during the Afghan interregnum and the chaos of Nader Shah's campaigns, making its output from this brief window genuinely indicative of how quickly Karim Khan moved to assert fiscal control over the eastern provinces.
Type C within the Kermān series reflects a die revision likely driven by administrative standardization across Zand mints in the late 1180s AH. The window of 1767–1769 is narrow enough that surviving examples attributable to this type are encountered far less frequently than Zand issues from Shiraz, the dynasty's seat.
