| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central inscription within a beaded circle, surrounded by a decorative wreath composed of intertwined oak and olive branches. The Persian legend in nastaliq script names the sovereign Naser ad-Din Shah Qajar and the mint city Tehran. The overall design is characteristic of late Qajar-period coinage, with the calligraphic inscription serving as the primary artistic element in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The iconic Iranian imperial device of a lion passant guardant before a rising sun occupies the central field, set within a beaded circle. A crown divides a wreath of oak and olive branches framing the design above. A Persian legend appears in the exergue, with the AH date 1311 inscribed below the entire composition. The lion and sun motif is rendered in the refined style associated with late Qajar royal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The half-toman denominations of Naser ad-Din Shah's reign were struck at the Tehran mint, which underwent significant reorganization following the Shah's European tours in the 1870s and 1880s — he was determined to modernize Iranian coinage along Western lines. By 1893, the toman-based gold series had achieved reasonable consistency, though the Tehran mint never fully resolved its die alignment irregularities, and rotated-die examples from this period are not uncommon.
Naser ad-Din was assassinated in 1896, three years after this piece was struck, ending the longest reign in Qajar history at just over 47 years.
