| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script, reading the royal title and name of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, arranged in flowing calligraphic lines across the coin's face. The inscription is surrounded by a wreath-style floral and foliate border rendered in low relief, encircling the entire obverse up to the coin's rim. The overall design is characteristic of Qajar-era coinage, with an emphasis on calligraphic artistry rather than portraiture. |
