| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in flowing Nasta'liq script, reading the royal titulature of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. The inscription is arranged in three horizontal lines across the flan, with the text 'السلطان ابن السلطان ناصرالدین شاه قاجار' (Sultan son of Sultan, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar). The coin is irregularly shaped with a beaded border partially visible around the periphery, characteristic of hammered Iranian coinage of the Qajar period. The silver surface shows typical die-struck relief with slight weakness at the margins due to the hand-striking technique. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Nasta'liq script denoting the mint name and issuing authority, reading 'ضرب دارالعلم شیراز' (Struck at Dar al-Ilm, Shiraz). The inscription is boldly rendered across the face of the flan in two or three lines, with characteristic Qajar calligraphic flourishes. A partial beaded border frames the design at the periphery, though irregular striking has left portions of the border incomplete. The overall style is consistent with provincial hammered silver coinage produced at the Shiraz mint during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah. |
