| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint and date legend in Arabic script arranged within a grid of intersecting ruled lines creating a characteristic Qajar cartouche layout. The inscription reads 'Zarb Dar al-Marz Rasht 1213', denoting the place of striking as the frontier city of Rasht and the regnal year 1213 AH. The text is rendered in nasta'liq script with bold, deeply struck strokes. A border of raised pellets surrounds the entire reverse field, consistent with the obverse treatment and typical of hammered gold issues from this mint. |
