| Obverse description | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic religious legend in bold Nasta'liq script, disposed across the entire field in three registers separated by two curved cartouche lines. The uppermost register carries the Shahada declaration, the central band the name of the Prophet Muhammad as Messenger of God, and the lower field bears the Shi'a formula affirming Ali as the Wali of God. The script is deeply struck with characteristic Afsharid calligraphic flourishes, and the flan edges show the irregular outline typical of hand-struck Iranian coins of this period. |
