| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Arabic legend in flowing Nasta'liq script arranged in two horizontal registers across the flan, reading the royal proclamation attributing the gold coinage to Fath Ali Shah. The inscription is rendered in deeply struck, calligraphic characters characteristic of early Qajar hammered gold coinage. The field surrounding the legend shows the slightly irregular, grainy surface typical of hand-struck gold issues of this period. No figural imagery is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The overall presentation reflects the formal royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah's early reign. |
