| Obverse description | Central field bears a four-line Arabic script inscription in Nastaliq calligraphy reading 'السلطان ذوالقرنین / ناصرالدین شاه / قاجار' with the regnal year 1313 in Eastern Arabic numerals along the lower border. The inscription is enclosed within a finely engraved wreath of oak leaves and rose buds tied at the base, the whole surrounded by a beaded inner border. The composition commemorates the fiftieth year of Naser al-Din Shah's reign over the Qajar dynasty, rendering his full royal titulature in the field without a portrait effigy. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the imperial Shir-o-Khorshid (Lion and Sun) emblem: a rampant lion passant to the right, holding an upright scimitar in its right forepaw, with a radiant rising sun issuing from its back. The Qajar crown appears above the sun in the upper field. The entire device is framed by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns tied with a ribbon at the base. Below the lion, the denomination legend 'دوهزار دینار' (Two Thousand Dinars) is inscribed in a straight line within the lower portion of the wreath, all within a beaded border. |
