| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line kalima shahada legend in bold nasta'liq calligraphy within a plain inner oval or cartouche, enclosed by a prominent beaded border that runs the full circumference of the coin. The upper line bears the first part of the Islamic profession of faith (la ilaha illa Allah), the central line names Muhammad as the Messenger of God, and the lower line bears the Shia addition acknowledging Ali as the Wali of God (Ali wali Allah). The overall composition is well-centered, with the beaded border providing a clear visual frame that is characteristic of Zand-dynasty silver coinage. The field surrounding the legend is flat and unadorned. |
