| Aversbeschreibung | Central field occupied by a bold Nasta'liq calligraphic inscription in Arabic script reading 'Ya Ali' (invocation to Imam Ali) prominently positioned above the mint and date formula. The legend 'Zarb Dar al-Saltana Isfahan' (struck at the Seat of the Sultanate, Isfahan) appears in the lower portion of the field, accompanied by the AH date 1196. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, typical of Zand-period hammered coinage, with the deeply struck legends displaying the characteristic flowing Nasta'liq style of late 18th-century Iranian mints. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse field is filled entirely with a four-line Nasta'liq poetic legend in Arabic script, a characteristic feature of Zand dynasty coinage. The inscription, reading 'Shod aftab o mah zar o sim dar jahan az sekke-ye imam be-haqq Saheb al-Zaman' (the sun and moon, gold and silver in the world, shine from the coin of the rightful Imam, Lord of the Age), is a Shi'a religious couplet affirming the Twelfth Imam's sovereignty. The deeply impressed lettering fills the flan to its beaded periphery, with sweeping calligraphic strokes characteristic of the Esfahan mint under Ali Murad Khan. The overall strike is bold and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ali Murad Khan seized power in 1781 by blinding and deposing his nephew Abolfattah Khan, consolidating brief control over much of Iran during the Zand dynasty's increasingly violent succession struggles. His reign lasted only until 1785, when Jafar Khan overthrew him — making Esfāhān mint output from this period exceptionally limited in volume. The Isfahan mint had been a primary Zand striking facility under Karim Khan, but political instability through the early 1780s disrupted production schedules considerably.
KM#560.1 distinguishes the Esfāhān attribution from other mint varieties in the type.
