| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold Nastaliq calligraphic legend filling the entire field, naming the mint city of Tuysirkan and the Hijri date 1241. Decorative floral and foliate vine motifs intertwine gracefully among the inscription, a characteristic artistic feature of Qajar provincial coinage. The legend is enclosed within a prominent inner border of large raised beads, which in turn is surrounded by an outer raised rim. The AH date 1241 appears prominently at the base of the design within the beaded border. |
