| Obverse description | Bold nastaliq calligraphic inscription occupying the entire field, reading 'Mohammad Shahanshah Anbiya' (Muhammad, King of Kings of the Prophets), struck in two sweeping horizontal lines characteristic of Qajar hammered coinage. The script is rendered in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. A beaded border encircles the legend. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-struck Qajar silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Nastaliq calligraphic inscription filling the field in two principal lines, recording the mint name and regnal year. The upper portion bears the word 'Sultan' and related royal epithets, while the lower field carries the mint attribution 'Zarb Dar al-Saltana Tabriz' (Struck at the Seat of the Sultanate, Tabriz). Floral and rosette ornamental devices are visible in the margins, consistent with Qajar minting practice at Tabriz. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the hand-hammered production technique. |
