Reverse description Central field occupied by a densely composed Arabic and Persian calligraphic legend in high-relief Nasta'liq script, proclaiming the sovereignty of Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar. The inscription fills the flan in a bold, interlocking arrangement characteristic of Qajar mint practice, with the letters forming sweeping curves and angular strokes. The die-engraved legend is disposed across the field without a formal border, the slightly irregular outline of the coin confirming its hand-hammered production. The overall composition is vigorous and deeply struck, consistent with the Type S classification for this emission.
