| Reverse description | The reverse presents a religious verse in elegant Nasta'liq script arranged in three horizontal registers across the full field, referencing the Imam and the Hidden Imam (Sahib al-Zaman), a standard Safavid-derived Shi'a formula retained by the Zand rulers. The calligraphic lines are deeply impressed and well-spaced, with the text flowing continuously across the flan. The legend is framed by a decorative border of scrolling floral arabesques and pellet ornaments consistent with the obverse treatment, reflecting the refined artistic sensibility of Shiraz mint production. |
