| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely covered by multiple lines of Arabic calligraphic inscription in Naskh-Nasta'liq style, occupying the full diameter of the irregular flan. The legend contains the royal titulature of Shah Tahmasp I together with the mint name Nimruz and, where legible, a regnal or Hijri date reference. The script is executed in high relief with bold, flowing strokes characteristic of Safavid hammered silver coinage. No figurative devices, borders, or ornamental frames are present, with the inscriptions arranged in horizontal registers across the field. |
