| Reverse description | Central field features a multi-line nastaliq inscription recording the mint name and regnal year, struck in bold relief against a granular ground. The legend 'ضرب دارالعلم شیراز' identifies the issuing mint as Shiraz, the 'Abode of Knowledge,' accompanied by the AH date. The calligraphic text fills the flan in the characteristic Qajar hammered style, with lines of script arranged concentrically and the irregular flan edge forming a natural border. Secondary floral or scrollwork elements surround the central inscription as decorative framing. |
