| Reverse description | Hammered silver field displaying the Shia kalima arranged in multiple bold calligraphic lines filling the entire coin face. The central legend proclaims the Islamic profession of faith — 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah, Ali wali Allah' — affirming the Shia theological formula acknowledging Ali as the rightful successor. The inscription is executed in a vigorous naskh hand consistent with Afsharid provincial mint practice, with uneven flan edges and die-crack lines visible, as is common for hammered coinage of this period. The field shows no decorative border or secondary motifs, the composition being entirely devoted to the epigraphic religious text. |
