| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the royal Persian legend in bold, deeply struck Nasta'liq-style Arabic script, reading 'al-Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar,' arranged in multiple registers across the flan. The inscription proclaims the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah, second ruler of the Qajar dynasty, in a characteristically dense calligraphic composition filling the entire coin face. The Hijri date 1222 appears in the lower portion of the field. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly uneven flan typical of hammered Persian coinage of this period. No border ornamentation is present, with the legends extending nearly to the rim. |
