| Obverse lettering | السلطان العادل الكامل الهادي الوالي أبو المظفر شاه طهماسب بهادر خان الصفي الحسيني ضرب […] (Translation: The just sultan, the perfect, the rightly-guided, the chosen, the father of victory, Shah Tahmasp the Brave Khan, the Safavid, the Husayni, struck in […]) |
| Reverse description | The reverse face of the flattened, stamped portion of the hairpin-shaped rod displays the Shi'a Muslim profession of faith in Arabic script, arranged in multiple lines across the impressed field. The Shahada is augmented with the characteristic Twelver Shi'a addition affirming Ali as the Chosen of God, consistent with all Safavid coinage of the period. The inscription fills the available surface of the stamp, with letters showing the bold, somewhat compressed style typical of die-struck larins produced under Tahmasp I. The reverse field, like the obverse, exhibits the irregular surface texture inherent to the hammered larin production technique. |
