Reverse description Central field bears a large, bold nastaliq calligraphic inscription occupying most of the die area, identifying the mint name کرمانشهان (Kermanshah). The inscription is rendered in a flowing, characteristic provincial nastaliq hand with sweeping strokes. A decorative dotted border or beaded inner circle frames the central legend. The AH date ۱۲۶۶ appears in the lower portion of the field in Persian numerals. The overall execution is typical of anonymous provincial Qajar falus issues, with the hammered technique producing an irregular flan and uneven strike.
