| Reverse description | Central field bears a three-line nastaliq legend within a double raised border, recording the mint and regnal year: 'Zarb Dar al-Saltana Tabriz, Sana 1226', identifying Tabriz — the traditional seat of the Qajar crown prince — as the place of striking and citing the Hijri year 1226 (1811 CE). The surrounding broad border is elaborately decorated with a continuous high-relief arabesque of interlaced floral scrollwork, blossoms, and curling foliage mirroring the obverse treatment. The die work throughout demonstrates the accomplished hand engraving typical of early Qajar royal presentation coinage. |
