| Reverse description | Epigraphic field bearing the Shi'a Islamic declaration of faith in Arabic Nasta'liq script, arranged in multiple lines across the flan. The legend comprises the Shahada followed by the affirmation of Ali as the wali of God, a hallmark of Safavid Shi'a coinage. Lines of text are divided by a cruciform arrangement typical of Safavid hammered gold issues. A rope or cable border runs along the coin's periphery, consistent with contemporaneous Safavid minting conventions. |
