| Obverse description | Central field bears a large Arabic calligraphic legend naming the ruler, Sultan Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, and the mint city Tehran, rendered in bold Nastaliq script. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded inner border and surrounded by a decorative wreath of leafy branches tied at the base, framing the legend in a manner typical of late Qajar gold coinage. The overall design is characteristic of the milled gold issues produced at the Tehran mint during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Iranian royal emblem: a radiant sun rising behind a lion passant brandishing an upraised sword, surmounted by a crown. The central device is enclosed within a beaded border and surrounded by a laurel and palm wreath tied at the base. The denomination 'یک تومان' (One Toman) appears in the upper field and the date '۱۳۲۱' (AH 1321) appears below the central device; this date is an error — the die was intended to read AH 1312 (1895 AD), making this a notable mule with an inverted and transposed date. |
