| Obverse description | Central field bears the royal titulature of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar in ornate Arabic-script legend, surrounded by a wreath of eight five-pointed stars arranged in a circular border. The eight stars are symbolic of the eighth Imam of Twelver Shi'ite Islam, Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha. The inscription identifies the sovereign by his full regnal title. The overall design is set within a beaded or plain circular border typical of Qajar-era coinage. |
