| Obverse description | The obverse displays a three-line Persian inscription in bold Nastaliq calligraphy arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's field, divided by two parallel lines. The legend reads 'az Fath Ali sikke bazad amad shahi' (the royal coin struck by Fath Ali Shah), attributing the issue to the Qajar sovereign Fath Ali Shah. Decorative floral and dotted ornaments fill the spaces between the registers and along the margins. The coin's irregular flan is characteristic of hand-hammered Qajar production. The entire design is enclosed within a rope or pearled border running along the coin's circumference. |
