| Obverse description | Central field bears the denomination numeral ٥٠ (50) in large raised nastaliq script above the word دينار (Dinar), with the AH regnal date ١٢٩٣ inscribed below. The entire central legend is enclosed within a finely beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a decorative outer border composed of alternating foliate sprigs and small floral ornaments rendered in low relief. The overall design is characteristic of the Tehran Mint's copper coinage of the Nāṣer al-Dīn Shah period, with the inscription disposed across three horizontal lines within the field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Qajar imperial lion passant to the left, bearing a sword raised in its right forepaw, with a radiant rising sun emerging from behind its back — the Shir-o-Khorshid (Lion and Sun) emblem of Qajar Iran. The lion stands upon a plain ground line within an unadorned field. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath of two branches, tied at the base and surmounted at the apex by a Qajar crown, all enclosed within a beaded border. The composition is executed in the robust, stylised manner typical of Tehran Mint copper issues of the 1290s AH decade. |
