| Obverse description | The obverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line calligraphic legend in bold Nastaliq script, executed across the full field of the coin. The royal titulature reads 'al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Naser al-Din Shah Qajar,' identifying the reigning monarch of the Qajar dynasty. The inscription is arranged in sweeping, overlapping horizontal bands that fill the flan from rim to rim. A beaded border encircles the design, framing the calligraphic composition. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century Iranian mint work, emphasizing elegant script over figurative imagery. |
