| Obverse description | Facing bust portrait of Nāṣer al-Dīn Shāh Qājār occupying the central field, depicted in military uniform adorned with decorative epaulettes, a bandolier, and ornamental studs across the chest. The Shah wears his characteristic tall cylindrical Qajar crown surmounted by an elaborate jewelled aigrette with a prominent feather plume. A prominent curled mustache defines his facial features. The portrait is rendered in fine relief in a naturalistic European-influenced engraving style, set against a smooth field, with a beaded border encircling the entire obverse. |
