| Obverse description | Facing bust of Ahmad Shah Qajar at center, wearing a plumed Qajar crown adorned with jewels, his youthful visage rendered in moderate relief. The effigy is flanked by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied at the base, with the AH date ١٣٣٢ inscribed in Arabic numerals at the bottom of the field. A curved Arabic legend reading 'Sultan Ahmad Shah Iran' occupies the upper portion of the field, arching above the portrait. The coin exhibits the characteristic Qajar engraving style with fine detail in the crown plumage and foliate wreath elements. |
