| Obverse description | Draped half-bust of Naser al-Din Shah facing left, wearing an elaborate jewelled Qajar crown adorned with pearls and a feathered plume. The royal effigy is rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of mid-19th century Iranian hammered coinage, with the figure shown in court dress decorated with floral motifs. A Persian legend in nasta'liq script appears to the left of the portrait within a cartouche. The bust is framed below by an open wreath of laurel branches tied at the base, with a beaded border encircling the entire field. |
