| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears the royal title and name of Shah Tahmasp I inscribed in nasta'liq script, accompanied by the epithet identifying him as a servant of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib. The mint name Yazd appears prominently in the lower field, with the AH date 978 (AD 1570) inscribed adjacent. The reverse legend is arranged in multiple registers across the flan, typical of Safavid Sixth Western Standard coinage, with the hammered strike producing slight doubling and irregularity at the flan edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tahmasp I ruled for over fifty years — the longest reign of any Safavid shah — and his coinage reflects the administrative complexity of managing an empire perpetually squeezed between Ottoman pressure from the west and Uzbek incursions from the east. The "Sixth Western Standard" designation tracks a specific weight reduction sequence imposed during his reign as silver supplies fluctuated and military expenditure mounted. Yazd, positioned along the central Iranian plateau trade routes, was a consistent secondary mint throughout this period.
