| Obverse description | Central circular cartouche enclosing the royal Arabic-script legend naming Sultan Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar, with the Hijri date 1326 inscribed below. The cartouche is framed by a fine beaded border and surrounded by a large wreath composed of olive and oak branches, tied at the base with a decorative bow. A Qajar imperial crown surmounts the cartouche at the top of the design, flanked by additional foliate elements. The overall composition reflects the formal calligraphic court style characteristic of late Qajar coinage. |

| Reverse description | The traditional Persian imperial emblem occupies the central field: a lion passant to the right bearing a sword over its right shoulder, set against a rising sun with radiating rays behind its back. A Qajar imperial crown is positioned above the lion at the top of the field. The central device is framed by a broad wreath of olive and oak branches tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow. A horizontal line below the lion separates it from the denomination inscription in Persian script reading 'Panj Hezar Dinar' (Five Thousand Dinars). |
