| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a three-line Persian nastaliq legend arranged in horizontal registers divided by ruled lines, the whole surrounded by a border of raised pellets following the irregular flan edge. The calligraphy, executed in bold relief characteristic of early Qajar hammered coinage, reads a poetic royal invocation in praise of Fath Ali Shah. The inscribed field exhibits the energetic, cursive nastaliq hand typical of Kashan mint products of this period, with decorative pellet clusters interspersed among the letterforms as ornamental fillers. |
