| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylised mint name inscription in Arabic nasta'liq script, reading 'zarb Khuy' (struck at Khoy), arranged within the central field in a fluid, curvilinear composition with pronounced pellet ornaments distributed throughout. The letters are boldly rendered in high relief against a flat field, consistent with the hammered die technique employed at the Khoy mint during this transitional Zand-Qajar period. The flan edge is irregular, typical of hand-cut gold flans of the era. |
