| Obverse description | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend within a plain inner circle, reading the royal titulature of Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar. The inscription, rendered in Nastaliq calligraphy, is enclosed by an ornate wreath of oak leaves and acorns, with a dotted border at the rim. The overall design is characteristic of late Qajar coinage, emphasizing the sovereign's name and titles in lieu of a portrait effigy. |
