| Reversbeschreibung | Central field bears a prominent rectangular cartouche with a beaded inner border, containing a multi-line Arabic-script legend in bold Nastaliq calligraphy recording the mint name and date of issue. The legend reads 'ضرب دارالسلطنه اصفهان' (struck at the Seat of the Sultanate, Isfahan) with the AH date 1246 in the lower portion. Elaborate floral and vegetal scrollwork in the Qajar decorative tradition fills the spandrels between the cartouche and the outer beaded border, which is itself surrounded by a dentilated rim. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Fath Ali Shah ruled from 1797 until his death in 1834, presiding over a court that made an elaborate visual cult of the royal person — the portrait ashrafi was part of that program. These coins circulated among the elite and were used as gifts and rewards rather than in everyday trade, which explains why many survivors show minimal wear despite being genuinely old.
The period around 1830–31 coincided with the aftermath of the Russo-Persian War and the humiliating Treaty of Turkmenchay, signed 1828, which stripped Iran of territories in the Caucasus and imposed a ruinous indemnity. The treasury was under strain, and gold coinage of this type was increasingly a ceremonial instrument rather than a commercial one.
