| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a three-line Persian verse inscription in flowing nasta'liq script, arranged horizontally across the coin's field and divided by two finely engraved ruled lines, a format typical of Zand abbasi coinage. The poetic legend reads: 'Shod aftab o mah zar o sim dar jahan / az sekke-ye Imam be-haqq Saheb al-Zaman,' proclaiming that gold and silver in the world derive their worth from the seal of the rightful Imam, the Lord of the Age — a Shi'a devotional formula referencing the Hidden Imam. Floral and vegetal embellishments fill the margins between the text lines, and the inscription extends to the very edge of the flan. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The engraving is bold and confident, consistent with the Yazd mint's production under Karim Khan Zand. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karim Khan Zand never took the title of Shah, ruling instead as Vakil al-Ra'ya — regent of the people — a deliberate political choice that distinguished his administration from the Safavid tradition he nominally upheld. The Yazd mint was among the more active provincial operations under his rule, a city he never substantially threatened militarily, which likely contributed to its relatively stable coin output during this period.
Type C of this series reflects a die revision introduced mid-reign, distinguishable from earlier types by specific calligraphic arrangements rather than any shift in weight standard.
