| Reverse description | Central field features the mint name and AH date enclosed within a hexadecagonal (sixteen-sided) cartouche, a design element characteristic of provincial Qajar mint issues. The central cartouche is surrounded by two concentric circular dotted borders, creating a layered frame typical of the period's decorative conventions. The inscriptions are rendered in Nastaliq script, identifying the issuing mint as Astarabad and recording the regnal date. The overall composition is geometrically structured, reflecting the formal aesthetic of Qajar hammered gold coinage. |
