| Obverse description | The field is dominated by a bold, multi-line calligraphic legend in elegant Nasta'liq Arabic script, filling the entire coin surface in a sweeping, interlaced arrangement. The central inscription reads 'al-Mulk lillah al-Sultan Baba Khan' (The kingdom belongs to God; the Sultan Baba Khan), referencing Fath Ali Shah's regnal title. The lettering is deeply struck with pronounced relief, characteristic of early Qajar hammered coinage. The field surrounding the inscription bears subtle irregular surface texture from the hammering process. The whole design is enclosed by a prominent border of raised dots forming a continuous inner circle. |
