| Obverse description | Central field occupied by three horizontal lines of bold Nasta'liq calligraphy arranged in a cartouche-like composition, conveying the royal mint legend. The inscription reads the sovereignty declaration, mint name Dar al-Saltana Tehran, and the AH date 1212. The entire design is enclosed within a fine inner border of small pellets and an outer border of larger beads, typical of Qajar hammered coinage. Floral and foliate ornamental elements fill the spaces between the inscription bands. The die-work is characteristic of early Fath Ali Shah Qajar issues. |
