Can imagine that it was difficult to photograph this small coin with not many sharp contrasts. Still, considering the strike and readablity i think it quite an accomplishment of you to have this attributed and fully transcribed !

Many thanks Anthony, my objective is to fully identify this coin and add Qazvin as a new mint of this kind of Kran to the index.

I admit that from the pictures I had a hard time seeing a few bits of the name of the shah and I do not see much of the name of the mint except the end of its epithet (dar al-sul)tanat.  :-\
Did you identify it by comparison with another examplar ? or may be it is legible with the coin in hand ?

Thank you Saro for your comments, the obverse is a typical hammered Nasir al-Din shah. As for the reverse, the mint for this type of Kran, Dar al-Sultanat applies to Qazvin, Tabriz or Tehran and I was inclined to choose Qazvin.
Please feel free to suggest otherwise.

Dear Saro, comparing this coin with the coin attached hereunder, a very likely mint possibility for the posted coin is " Zarb dar al-Sultanat Tabriz  ضرب دارالسلطنه تبریز ". The attached coin is half Kran coin posted on February 19, 2017

Thank you Saro, in the following link there is the same flower underneath letter " B ب " of the word zarb and to the left of the word "Tabriz تبریز " which shows similarity of the two coins and this confirms that Tabriz is the correct mint.
