| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the word 'Adl' (Justice) in large, bold Nasta'liq script, flanked by decorative elements. The AH date 1249 appears in the lower portion of the field in Eastern Arabic numerals. A circular border surrounds the design, with additional calligraphic inscriptions distributed around the periphery. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and surface patination consistent with early nineteenth-century Qajar copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the mint name 'Zarb Kirmanshahan' (struck at Kirmanshah) rendered in flowing Nasta'liq calligraphy occupying the central field. The inscription is composed in multiple registers of cursive script with ornamental dots and diacritical marks characteristic of Qajar calligraphic convention. A foliate or floral decorative border frames the legend along the lower periphery. The overall design reflects the standard typology of provincial Qajar copper falus coinage issued under Fat'h Ali Shah. |
