| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian nastaliq inscription giving the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, reading 'Al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar.' The calligraphy is executed in an elegant, flowing nastaliq hand with decorative floral rosette ornaments interspersed throughout the legend. The entire design is contained within a plain inner border and surrounded by a bold beaded outer border. The irregular flan and hand-struck technique give the coin a characteristic organic outline typical of Qajar-era hammered gold coinage. |
