| Reverse description | Central oval cartouche bearing a three-line Persian nastaliq legend in boldly struck relief, recording the mint name Kermanshahan and the AH date 1232, with the numeral ١٢٣٢ prominently displayed in the lower portion of the cartouche. The cartouche is framed by a beaded inner border and then a dotted concentric band, beyond which a wide rim is decorated with an elaborate continuous arabesque of intertwined floral scrolls and stylized vegetal ornament, closely related in style to the obverse border. The overall composition exemplifies the opulent calligraphic and decorative tradition of Qajar imperial gold coinage. |
