Reverse description Central field bears a multi-line Arabic legend naming the ruler as 'Al-Sulṭān Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh Qājār' with the mint name 'Ṭihrān' (Tehran) inscribed below, all set within a beaded inner circle. The entire central inscription is encircled by a wreath composed of stylized oak and laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, a hallmark of late Qajar coinage design. A further decorative beaded border separates the wreath from the smooth outer rim. The composition is symmetrical and formally arranged in the manner typical of Qajar pattern issues struck at the Tehran Mint.
