| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a bold, multi-line calligraphic legend in Persian Nasta'liq script, reading the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. The inscription, rendered in deeply struck and elegantly flowing characters, is interspersed with small floral and foliate ornaments scattered across the field. The legend is contained within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a prominent outer border of closely spaced raised beads. The overall design reflects the refined Qajar court aesthetic, with the script serving as both the primary decorative and epigraphic element. |
