| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, rendered in bold nastaliq calligraphy filling the flan in multiple sweeping lines. The legend reads the ruler's name and titles, proclaiming divine authority and dynastic lineage. The script is arranged in an overlapping, diagonal composition characteristic of early Qajar hammered coinage, with no border or decorative frame. The die-struck lettering exhibits vigorous relief against a smooth silver field, typical of the Type A series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name and regnal year inscribed in nastaliq script within a simple geometric cartouche or frame, surrounded by a dotted or scalloped border visible at the coin's edge. The mint name 'Lahijan' appears prominently in the upper portion of the field, with the AH date 1216 placed below. The layout is characteristic of provincial Qajar mint practice, with the inscription dominating the flan and the frame defined by a series of small dots or pellets encircling the central legend. |
