| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold horizontal cartouche bearing the royal legend in flowing nastaliq script, divided into two registers. The upper register carries the name and title of the shah, while the lower register bears the epithet 'Sahib-Qiran' (Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction). Decorative rosette or pellet ornaments are scattered throughout the field, a characteristic feature of Qajar hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly oval, consistent with hand-struck production. The overall design is typical of Fath Ali Shah's early qiran coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a multi-line nastaliq inscription enclosed within a double-lined oval or pointed cartouche, recording the mint name and regnal year. The legend reads 'Zarb Dar al-Saltana Isfahan' (struck in the seat of the sultanate, Isfahan) with the AH date 1241 in the lower portion. A beaded or dotted border encircles the entire design, a hallmark of Isfahan mint issues of this period. Decorative floral or rosette devices fill the secondary field between the cartouche and the border. The reverse composition is consistent with Qajar provincial mint practice under Fath Ali Shah. |
