| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a multi-line Persian calligraphic legend in nasta'liq script arranged within two horizontal registers, separated by a bold horizontal bar. The upper register features a decorative crescent-and-dot ornament above the dividing line, while the inscription records the mint name Khoy (Dar al-Safa) and the regnal year in abjad numerals. The field is richly adorned with interlacing floral sprays, rosettes, and berry clusters in high relief. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a rope or cable border near the rim, consistent with Qajar provincial gold coinage of this period. |
