| Obverse description | Central field bearing the royal titulature of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar inscribed in bold thuluth (suls) calligraphy, arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal dividing line. The legend reads 'al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar,' presented within a plain circular border. The script is deeply struck with characteristic hammered relief, displaying the bold, flowing strokes typical of early Qajar epigraphic coinage. No figurative imagery is present, consistent with the aniconic tradition of Iranian Islamic coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field inscribed in Persian nastaliq script, presenting the mint name and regnal year arranged in multiple lines within a plain circular border. The legend reads 'Zarb Dar al-'Ibada Yazd' (struck at the Abode of Worship, Yazd), with the AH date appearing in the lower portion of the field. The inscription is hand-engraved with the irregular strike characteristic of hammered gold coinage, and the flan displays slight irregularity at the edges consistent with the hand-cut planchet preparation methods of the Qajar period. |
