Dear maudry, your coin details:
Safavids, Shah Safi I, Silver Shahi, Isfahan mint (1038-1052 AH).
First photo reads, Shiite formula (Kalima) " لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله علی ولی الله ", La illah l'Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, 'Ali Wali Allah.
The second photo reads in Farisi: " هست از جان غلام شاه صفی , ضرب اصفهان " , Hast az jan ghulam-i Shah Safi / Zarb Isfahan, meaning "from his soul, he is the slave of the Shah Safi, struck Isfahan". The date could be " 1038 ۱۰۳۸ " or " 1048 ۱۰۴۸ " as only the last digit " 8 ۸ " is visible above the word " Isfahan اصفهان ".

Thank you Maythem.
Yes I have seen the 8 at 10 o'clock but at 2 o'clock I see something that looks a like a 10.
So I wasn't able to make any sense of the numbers.

Thank you maudry, at 2 O'clock, the dot could belong to the first letter " Gh غ " of the word " Ghulam غلام ", otherwise it is part of the date " 10xx ۱۰- - ", the other two digits of the date are off the flan.
