| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian legend in flowing Nasta'liq script, arranged in two or three horizontal registers divided by a ruled line. The inscription invokes a religious or royal formula in the name of Shah Isma'il III of the Safavid dynasty. Pellet ornaments are distributed around the field and along the border, characteristic of late Safavid hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly cupped, with the legend partially struck off the edge on some sides. No figurative imagery is present, in accordance with Islamic numismatic convention. |
