| Reverse description | Two-line Persian nastaliq inscription fills the field, recording the mint name and regnal year. The upper line reads 'Zarb Dar al-Dawla Kirmanshahan' (struck at the seat of government, Kermanshah), and the lower line gives the AH date 1246. The bold, flowing calligraphy is struck in high relief, with characteristic dot diacritics visible throughout. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-hammered Qajar provincial minting practice. |
