| Obverse description | The obverse presents a bold calligraphic legend in flowing Nasta'liq script, occupying the entire field of this irregularly shaped hammered silver flan. The inscription reads 'al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar', proclaiming the royal title and lineage of Fath Ali Shah. The letters are rendered in large, sweeping strokes characteristic of early Qajar coin engraving, with no border or decorative frame. The surface shows the typical planarity and flow-line texture associated with hand-hammered coinage of the period. |
