| Obverse description | Central field bears a three-line Persian inscription in nasta'liq script naming the sovereign, enclosed within a raised oval cartouche. The legend reads 'Sultan Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar' and 'Tehran', arranged in stylised calligraphic bands. The cartouche is framed by a composite wreath composed of olive branches to the left and oak branches to the right, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A fine beaded border runs along the inner rim, with the edge of the coin showing reeding characteristic of milled coinage of the Tehran Mint. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the imperial Lion and Sun emblem of Qajar Iran: a rampant lion facing dexter, holding a sword in its right forepaw, with a radiant rising sun issuing from behind its back. The date in the Islamic lunar calendar (AH 1324) appears between the lion's legs. The entire device is enclosed within a wreath of olive and oak leaves, surmounted by a royal crown at the apex where the wreath branches meet. The denomination inscription 'پنجهزار' (five thousand dinars, equivalent to one-half toman) appears within the wreath, and a beaded inner border frames the design. |
