Reverse description The reverse presents a multi-line nastaliq calligraphic inscription occupying the full field, recording the mint name and hijri date of issue. The legend reads 'Zarb Dar al-Ilm Shiraz 1250,' identifying the city of Shiraz — traditionally styled 'Abode of Learning' — as the place of minting, with the Islamic lunar year 1250 AH (1834 AD) appearing in the lower register. The text is framed by an inner border of raised pellets, consistent with the obverse treatment, and the coin's irregular, hand-cut flan reflects the hammered production technique standard for Qajar gold tomans of this period.
