Reverse description Central field bears a multi-line Persian legend within a linear circular border, all enclosed by a wreath of laurel and oak. The inscription proclaims the full royal titulature of Ahmad Shah Qajar, referencing him as the great Sultan and dignified Khaqan. The AH date 1334 appears within the legend. The overall design follows the formal Qajar epigraphic tradition, emphasising the sovereign's titles rather than a pictorial device.
