| Obverse description | Central field occupied entirely by a multi-line Persian legend in bold Nasta'liq script, reading the royal titulature of Naser al-Din Shah. The inscription is divided by a horizontal rule into two registers: the upper register bearing the honorific titles and the lower register completing the royal name and epithet. The legend is surrounded by a finely engraved floral and foliate arabesque border composed of scrolling vines and stylised blossoms, all contained within a raised circular border and a flat outer rim. |
