| Obverse description | The obverse displays a densely composed field filled with bold Nastaliq Arabic calligraphy arranged in three horizontal registers across the coin's surface. The central legend reads the royal titulature of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, rendered in flowing script characteristic of the Qajar period. Small decorative pellets are interspersed between the lines of text, serving as ornamental separators. The field is unbordered, with the inscription extending nearly to the rim, reflecting the typical Qajar gold coinage aesthetic of the mid-nineteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents bold Nastaliq Arabic calligraphy filling the central field, arranged in multiple registers and recording the mint name and regnal year. An outer border of large raised pellets (beaded border) encircles the entire design, a hallmark feature of Qajar coinage struck at provincial mints. The inscription identifies the Rasht mint (Dar al-Marz Rasht) and the AH date 1279, corresponding to 1862 CE. Decorative pellet clusters are scattered within the field, enhancing the ornamental character of the design consistent with the minting style of the Rasht facility. |
