| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a dotted inner border enclosing a stylized lion passant bearing a sword, rendered in the traditional Qajar manner — the emblematic Shir-o-Khorshid (Lion and Sun) device. The lion is depicted in profile facing right with a raised sword, set against a plain field. Surrounding Arabic legends in flowing Nasta'liq script fill the outer area of the flan. The overall design is characteristic of hammered Qajar silver coinage of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Nasta'liq script distributed across the field, giving the mint name and regnal references. The lettering is boldly struck and fills the majority of the flan, with the mint name 'Hamadan' prominently indicated. The irregular flan shape and surface texture are consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage. No decorative border is present, and the legends are the sole design element on this face. |
