| Reverse description | The seated Lion and Sun, the imperial emblem of Qajar Iran, depicted in high relief with the sun rising behind the lion's back, all set on a ground line within a wreath of olive and oak branches tied at the base. The AH date appears in the exergue below the lion; the numerals as struck read ۱۲۹۰ (AH 1290), though they appear as ۱۲۰۹ due to a die-cutting error. |
