| Obverse description | Irregular rectangular hammered flan with a beaded border enclosing a horizontal dividing line separating the field into two registers. Both registers bear Arabic religious legend in bold Naskh script, presenting the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith). The inscription reads across both fields in a flowing calligraphic style typical of Qajar-era coinage, with the text tightly arranged to fill the available space. |

| Reverse description | Irregular rectangular hammered flan with a beaded border enclosing a horizontal dividing line separating the field into two registers. The upper register bears the royal epithet and name of Fath Ali Shah in flowing Nasta'liq calligraphy, while the lower register carries the mint name and AH date. Floral arabesque ornaments fill the interstitial spaces, characteristic of Qajar provincial mint production. The legends are executed in a bold, confident hand consistent with early 19th-century Ganja Mint output. |
