Very crude style, but generally readable with a few orthographic problems, e.g. in the first line of the creed, thus probably a contemporary imitation made by a die engraver without knowledge of Arabic (Southern Italy? Amalfi?) but with the capacity to reproduce the number of dots to form the writing precisely.

The Arabic legends on this coin are generally crude but legible. On the obverse die the word Allah was replaced three times by the word alah (one lâm only). Tarâblus is indicated as the mint, but the date is shortened to ithnâ for the final digit 2.

This is one of the few cases to find Sufi influence in Islamic coinage. Arabic huwwa for he is a Sufi address to Allâh, frequently used in repetition in the mystical practice of dhikr. The retrograde form is commonly found as a symmetrical juxtaposition of the word in Sufi calligraphy. This corresponds with the mirrored vision of the stars when the vision from the world is compared to the vision on a celestial globe. But it corresponds equally to a famous Sufi response to orthodox Islam, i.e. praying in the mosque with the back to the qibla (direction to Mecca) in order to express that Allah is not to be addressed in Mecca but rather inside the believer. Consequently there is no reason to assume that the reversed form of huwwa on the coin is merely accidental.
It cannot be entirely sure that this coin has to be dated to Karîm Khans lifetime, as the invocation yâ karîm, which can be found on this coin was continued in the coinage of some of his sons and also under Abûl-Hasan Beglerbeg, the factual ruler of Kirmân after 1193 H.
