| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Persian legend in Nasta'liq script occupying the entire field, recording the mint name and regnal year. Decorative floral or dot motifs are interspersed among the calligraphic lines, a hallmark of Qajar mint artistry. The inscription indicates striking at the Dar ol-Khilafah (seat of the Caliphate) mint of Tehran in AH 1275 (1859 CE). The legend is contained within a plain inner border, with the irregular hammered flan characteristic of this issue. Strike and relief are bold, though slightly uneven owing to the hand-hammered technique. |
