| Reverse description | Central field bears a bold multi-line Persian legend in Nasta'liq script recording the mint name and regnal year, reading 'Zarb Dar al-'Ilm Shiraz 1233,' identifying the Shiraz mint by its honorific epithet 'Abode of Knowledge.' The date appears in Eastern Arabic numerals along the lower portion of the legend. Decorative floral and foliate scrollwork fills the surrounding field, a distinctive ornamental feature of Shiraz mint issues of this period. A dotted inner border frames the central inscription, with the coin's irregular hammered rim visible at the periphery. |
