| Reverse description | Central field bearing a bold two-register Arabic calligraphic inscription reading 'Al-ʿizza lillāh al-Sulṭān Fatḥ ʿAlī' (Glory belongs to God, the Sultan Fath Ali), the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. The legend is struck in a robust, deeply incuse hand-cut style typical of early Qajar provincial issues, with the text arranged in stacked lines filling the round flan. The rim is plain and slightly uneven, reflecting the hammered technique of the Lāhījān mint. |
