| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian legend in bold nastaliq script, arranged in three horizontal registers and reading 'Bande-ye Shah-e Wilayat Husayn / Zarb Shiraz / 1129', identifying the ruler as Sultan Husayn, servant of the Shah of Wilayat, with the mint name Shiraz and the AH date 1129. The entire inscription is enclosed within a well-defined inner circle and surrounded by a prominent border of large raised pellets characteristic of late Safavid hammered gold coinage. The flan is slightly irregular and exhibits the characteristic broad, uneven fabric typical of hand-struck ashrafis of this period. |
