| Obverse description | The obverse field is dominated by a multi-line Persian inscription in Naskh script, occupying the central area and attesting to the gold's provenance from the Kavand Khamseh village mine. The inscription is enclosed within an elegant wreath of olive or laurel branches rendered in high relief, encircling the entire legend. The date in the Islamic lunar calendar (1293/1294) appears at the base of the inscription. The coin's milled border is visible at the periphery, framing the wreath. The overall design is consistent with Qajar-era commemorative or presentation coinage, with no royal portrait but an emphasis on the textual statement of origin. |
