| Obverse description | Central field bears the royal protocol inscription in flowing Nastaliq script arranged in multiple curved lines reading 'Sikkah Fath Ali Shah Qajar Khusraw Sahib-Qiran' — identifying the shah as Caesar and Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction. The legend is framed by a decorative inner border of raised pellet groups and an outer beaded border, characteristic of the Type E protocol introduced during the later Qajar coinage reforms. The overall design is purely epigraphic with no figurative elements, executed in the traditional Islamic hammered style. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the mint name and regnal year in Nastaliq script arranged in curved lines across the central field, identifying the place of issue as Qazvin (Dar al-Saltanah Qazvin) together with the Arabic numeral date. The inscription is enclosed within concentric decorative borders of pellet groupings and an outer beaded circle, consistent with the standard Qajar provincial mint format. The coin exhibits the irregular flan shape typical of hammered production at provincial mints of this period. |
